From a market perspective, boda bodas are livelihood itself in Kenya. That's exactly why theft isn't confined to the loss of a single vehicle - it directly hits a family's living. In the past five months, 75 units were stolen in Nakuru alone. Moving on cross-border crackdowns between the two countries is a practical step to protect the economic foundation.

Cooperation between the two countries is great, but without a proper registration system it's just going to be a game of whack-a-mole.

The Suam border is in western Kenya, right? So it's become a loophole for cross-border theft.

What's a boda-boda?

It's the East African boda-boda motorcycle taxis - everyday transport for regular people.

Boda-boda riders' whole livelihood depends on that bike, so getting it stolen ruins them instantly.

The bike is their livelihood, so a theft basically means losing their job... that's heavy.

They can hold a border meeting and reach an agreement, but will it actually reach the ground level?
