Two Kirinyaga MPs have urged boda boda riders within the county to register with NHIF to help them cater for their medical bills. Woman Rep Wangui Ngirichi noted that the boda boda sector is one of the vital small scale enterprises that aids in the growth of the economy thus needs government’s support. The leaders were speaking in Kutus Catholic church during a thanksgiving mass organised by boda boda riders. Patrick Waweru, the chairperson of the group, said their decision to have the event was informed by the need to give thanks as well as pray for protection due to the surge of accidents involving boda boda riders. Boda boda riding is a life threatening job and as such we felt the need to ask for divine protection.
