Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has ordered all motorbikes impounded by Nairobi County to be released.
Sakaja said the motorbikes should be released to the owners and all cases withdrawn with immediate effect.
Issuing the orders on Monday, Sakaja also asked the City Inspectorate to identity official drop off and pick up points within Nairobi.
Sakaja was speaking during a meeting with County Workers.
In July, Nairobi Metropolitan Services said they planned to release all boda boda motorcycles impounded within Nairobi before polls.
NMS Director General Mohammed Badi said he will consult Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai over the matter.
“Some boda boda had been impounded, I shall consult with with IG and ensure they get released before elections,” he said.
Badi admitted that boda boda operators have been victims of rogue enforcement officers.
“Since I took over Nairobi I have worked closely with the boda boda associations. It is true that boda boda operators have been harassed by rogue enforcement officers."
Badi said he has initiated disciplinary action against the rogue officers and will dismiss them.
Going by Sakaja's orders, NMS were not able to release the motorbikes to the owners.
