Following a boda-boda accident that singer Karole Kasita witnessed and had to rush a lady and her baby to the hospital, she has called the government to implement seminars for boda-boda cyclists on road safety measures.
The accident she witnessed got her thinking and questioning how these boda-boda accidents can be minimized and wondering whether there is a riding school where boda-boda men should first be enrolled before hitting the road.
Her call for boda-boda men to be sensitized on road safety measures comes hot on the heels of a report that was recently released indicating how accidents had dropped but the boda-boda accidents that risen by 5%.
The incident forced her to recall the first time she was involved in her own accident, she shared her story blaming a boda-boda rider for poor road usage where she had to rush a mother and her daughter to the hospital for first aid.
Fortunately, God saved both of them, so with experience still fresh in her mind, she wants government to take a serious step towards helping cyclists use the road properly.
So my first accident in life, I knocked a boda boda cyclist carrying a lady and a daughter. I still remember the baby’s cry the lady was lying selfless on the ground, confused I rushed them to the hospital, and thank God I saved both of them, just today I witnessed another accident where a cyclist threw a mother and kid down, I dropped everything I was doing n rushed them to a nearby hospital. Buh it’s got me wondering, how can these boda boda accidents be minimized? Are there riding schools? Can we have seminars for sensitive boda men on safety and much more
