The nationwide registration of all Boda Boda riders will start on Monday, March 28, the government has announced.
In a press statement issued by NTSA, to be registered Boda Boda operators will require an ID card and KRA pin. The registration will be done at all Huduma Centers.
"To register, a rider must present himself/herself in person and have an original National ID card, a copy of the KRA PIN number, and an active and registered phone number.
“A notification will be sent to the registered mobile number upon processing of the registration information,” the statement read in part.
Once the registration process is complete, boda boda riders will be issued with a Smart Driving License, NTSA has said.
This comes barely a month after President Uhuru Kenyatta directed that boda operators be registered afresh and ensure they adhere to the traffic laws.
"I did give instructions and I have ordered all boda boda operators starting here in Nairobi and moving across the country to be registered afresh," the President said.
