The Kilimani campaign focused on road safety and emergency response for boda boda operators.
Police and JICA urge boda boda operators to follow traffic rules and support emergency response ahead of the festive season.
Kilimani rider training has reached more than 200 boda boda operators, focusing on road safety and emergency response. The Kenya Police Service conducted the Nairobi campaign in partnership with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
The National Police Service (NPS) said the exercise promoted responsible riding, traffic law compliance and accident prevention. Police also urged operators to hold valid driving licences and insurance cover.
With the festive season approaching, officers encouraged riders to take a more active role in preventing road accidents. Increased holiday travel and traffic volumes place additional demands on road users.
Kilimani rider training promotes emergency support
Beyond carrying passengers, the campaign encouraged operators to help evacuate casualties and respond to road emergencies. Riders were also urged to support emergency response as first responders.
The initiative brought together police officers, JICA representatives, local administration officials and boda boda leaders. Through this cooperation, authorities aim to strengthen ties with transport operators and improve road safety.
Meanwhile, the NPS emphasised that all road users share responsibility for safer roads, not just motorcycle operators. It urged everyone to follow traffic rules and exercise caution as travel increases during the festive season.
