Chaos as Jubilee MCAs reject bill to kick out boda boda riders from CBD

February 16th, 2016 1 min read

Proceedings at the Nairobi City county assembly turned chaotic on Tuesday afternoon after Jubilee MCAs shot down a motion meant to ban boda boda riders from the city center.

Dandora MCA Steven Kambi said the motion was meant to pave way for traders who sell their wares in tents erected on parking bays.

Cord MCAs, who form the majority in the county assembly, walked out after the motion failed to sail through.

MCA Charles Thuo claimed that the traders in tents pay City Hall Sh 20, 000 a day. He said the revenue collected has never been accounted for.
