Garissa women on spot for using boda boda Over the years, there have been several concerns from leaders and Muslim clerics in the North Eastern region who claimed boda bodas were not women-users friendly.
“From today we will not allow a woman who is a Somali or a Muslim, to board a boda boda. If she is caught boarding a boda boda at the back, she and the rider should be caned. Because we do not allow it completely.”

Activists react to Garissa’s leader’s directive The National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) reacted to Garissa politician’s remarks, terming his statement as discriminatory. In a statement on X, NGEC said:
“We condemn in the strongest terms the discriminatory and unconstitutional remarks targeting Somali-Muslim women and bodaboda riders. Such utterances are not only sexist and ethnically prejudiced but violate Article 27 of the Constitution on equality and freedom from discrimination. We remind all public officials that leadership demands restraint, respect for diversity, and promotion of unity—not incitement or cultural policing.”
