BODA BODA Peace Procession

You Can Catch the BODA BODA Procession in the following areas

(i) 1st procession: Makadara and Embakasi.

The procession shall begin at city stadium to Jogoo Road after which there shall be a 30-minute stop-over at at Jericho field. Play some music, talk about the project and pass on the peace fliers.

Proceed to Buruburu and connect to outering road through mutindwa where there shall be a 30-minute stop-over. Proceed to Donholm, Pipeline and embakasi village and then have another stop-over. If time allows, participants will proceed to Cabanas. The boda boda operators will lead the way while giving out the peace fliers.

(ii) 2nd procession: Kamukunji, Starehe and Kasarani

All participants will converge at city stadium. Start the procession and have a 30-minute stop over at Kamkunji grounds. The procession will then move to Equity Eastleigh, then go to Kariokor using Thika Road. Have another stop-over at the Roysambu round-about. If time allows we will go to Mwiki.

There were suggestions that since this is a peace campaign, it would be useful to give special attention to the ‘2007/2008 violence hotspots’ in the different constituencies so as to sensitize the residents that peace is for life. For instance, Mathare in Starehe constituency, Dandora in Embakasi, Korogocho in Kasarani and Kamukunji in Langata.

(iii) 3rd procession: Langata, Dagoretti and Westlands

The procession will start off at at the grounds directly opposite carnivore and proceed on to Kibera and have a 30-minute stop-over. Proceed to Dagoretti and have another stopover at the satellite grounds, then go to Kangemi.

Kibera was the 2007/2008 violence ‘hotspot’ for Langata constituency, Kawangwara was the hotspot for Dagoretti and Kangemi was the ‘hotspot’ for Westlands.

It was discussed and agreed that to make coordination simpler since the numbers of boda boda operators will be huge, T-shirts will be used for identification purposes. The colors of reflectors should be neither Green nor Red to avoid conflict with supporters of either side.
