County Secretary Robert Ayisi on Tuesday gave boda-boda operators two weeks to leave the city centre after a court ruled in the county's favour, giving it the green-light to remove them from the city centre.
“We don't want to move up and down with them. That is why we have been quiet since the court ruling last week to give them time to leave on their own,” Ayisi said as quoted by the star.
Boda boda association chairman Ken Onyango has however said that they will not leave the CBD until the county establishes and gazettes operating areas for them adding that the new transport regulations requires the county, in collaboration with the NTSA to establish operating areas for boda-bodas.
“We will not leave the CBD. This is not an illegal business. Where do they want us to go, we are not thieves. They cannot give us ultimatums yet they have not played their part. The law is very clear,” Onyango said.
The boda-boda riders had moved to Court early in the year after City Hall kicked them out the City Centre last September.
