For our boda bodas, I am very proud to say that boda boda itself has its origin in Busia County. The word “ boda boda” comes from the English word “border” meaning boundary. This is where it came from. Now it is an activity that has spread all over the country. It is a very important economic activity. It is helping our young men and women to gain employment. We must protect it and we want to ask the Government to come up with a training levy for the boda boda s: A fund that will help them get training so that anybody who has a boda boda on the road is somebody who has gone through a training designed by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) in this country."}
