Bodaboda crackdown weighs on delivery services as bike use grows

NAIROBI, Kenya, March 10 – A crackdown on bodabodas has taken its toll on the delivery industry in Nairobi, with several consumers decrying their frustrations when accessing delivery services

President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered the crackdown on Tuesday following an incident that saw a motorist sexually assaulted in the city.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many Kenyans had opted and become accustomed to delivery services to procure food, drink and even items purchased from online shops.

A preview of the apps reveals that the option to order from Uber Eats and Bolt Foods remains unavailable, informing users that “drivers are very busy”.

Meanwhile, many businesses on social media are speaking out against delays in delivering goods to their customers amid the crackdown that has affected online sales.

I sell car batteries and deliver to stranded customers, but today was bad. I had to ask clients to come to the office or send an uber to pick up for them. Loss for me loss for customers.

My deliveries were delayed for several hours because the delivery person was not available.

On the other hand, however, bicycle use is gaining ground with bicycle parking, with Baiskeli Center saying it is overwhelmed with deliveries.
