Polícia anuncia novo sistema de registro de boda bodas em Nairóbi

O Departamento de Polícia de Trânsito anunciou um novo sistema de registro para boda bodas que operam em Nairóbi. A iniciativa visa promover a autorregulação dentro do setor e melhorar a segurança viária.

O subinspetor-geral Fredrick Ochieng, comandante de Trânsito, detalhou os planos em um vídeo divulgado pelo Serviço de Polícia do Quênia. Ele afirmou que o objetivo é tornar o setor de boda boda autorregulável, com os agentes da lei fornecendo suporte apenas quando necessário. Sob o sistema, todos os motociclistas passarão por um novo registro e serão vinculados a um ponto designado. O registro será uniforme em todos os condados, permitindo a fácil identificação da área de operação do motociclista. Por exemplo, um motociclista de Nairóbi encontrado em Kwale pode ser rastreado rapidamente. Os presidentes dos pontos supervisionarão a conformidade, incluindo a verificação de que motociclistas e passageiros possuam capacetes e coletes reflexivos. Um programa piloto realizado no distrito eleitoral de Starehe abriu caminho para a implementação em toda a cidade.
