A boda boda rider attempting to cross a flooded road with two passengers aboard has sparked outrage online. Despite nearly making it across, the rider and passengers were eventually overwhelmed by the strong currents. Efforts to salvage the situation proved futile until a bystander came to their rescue.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki had previously warned against attempting to cross flooded rivers, threatening charges of attempted murder. The viral video has prompted varied reactions online, with some expressing disappointment in the actions of the boda boda rider and his passengers.
