Boda boda operators in Nyanza and Western region have called for intervention into the rise of attacks.
This is as the riders have severally been ambushed, with attackers stealing their motorbikes, an at times injuring and leaving them for dead.
The riders cited this among other issues at a Saturday convention with the Boda Boda Safety Association of Kenya chair Kevin Mubadi in Nairobi.
According to Mr Mubadi, over 50 boda boda riders have been either killed or injured and their motorcycles stolen by thugs since January in Nyanza and Western regions alone.
After stealing, the criminals dismantle the motorcycles and sell them as spare parts.
