Riding a motor cycle without insurance is an offence.

Now you are deflecting issues. This thread is pertinently about PSV insurance and fare paying passengers. Kwani you did not learn about context in the school you attended,

In kenyan pallance, "bodaboda" is a motorcycle
used for conducting business of ferrying passengers mainly, and sometimes goods. Now you know. Sasa kindly direct me to relevant law on PSV for bodaboda.

Ok. Point noted. Bodaboda should have PSV insurance.

However what constitutes a PSV is not well defined in the Act. I think that is a loop hole for NipeLift

Maybe I have missed the clause that says this explicitly. In fact exchange of money is not even mentioned, at least not in above quoted act.

Ok. Noted.

@Mawinder has quoted the Act extensively. But Just a reminder. Section 2 of traffic Act reads:

“public service vehicle” means any motor vehicle which—

(a) is licensed under Part XI to carry passengers for hire or reward; or
(b) plies for hire or reward or is let out for hire or reward; or
(c) is carrying passengers for hire or reward;

If a word is not defined in an Act, you go for the ordinary english meaning.


Reward in ordinary English means "a thing given in recognition of service, effort, or achievement". Synonyms for reward include "price", "payment", "profit", "advantage", "tip", "consideration".

Where is reward captured if the passengers were to pay in kind and the vehicle owner is ok with that?. eg,If I have a bunch of bananas, I pay using that..
