Built in Kenya · Ready for any government
One registry for every bodaboda operator in the county.
A government platform that registers, verifies, and regulates every motorcycle-taxi operator — replacing paper books and rubber stamps with accountable, revenue-generating digital infrastructure.

The problem we are solving
Two million bodabodas, managed on paper.
The sector employs millions of young Kenyans, yet most counties still run it on paper registers, rubber stamps, and manual inspections — slow, easy to cheat, and impossible to enforce.
No accountability
When a rider commits a crime or causes an accident, there is no reliable way to trace them to a registered owner. Victims have no recourse.
Revenue leakage
Levies are collected in cash with no digital trail. Corruption and under-reporting mean counties collect a fraction of what they are owed.
No compliance visibility
Inspectors cannot instantly confirm valid insurance, a licensed rider, or a fitness certificate without physical paperwork.
Rider welfare gaps
Riders injured on duty often have no record of employment or next-of-kin, leaving emergency response and insurance claims nearly impossible.
What BMS does
A national ID system — built for bodabodas.
Every motorcycle and rider registers once, then stays accountable for life. Drag the handle to compare today's paper system with BMS in place.
- ✕ Paper registers that get lost or forged
- ✕ Cash levy collection with no audit trail
- ✕ No way to check a rider's licence on the spot
- ✕ Victims cannot identify responsible parties
- ✕ No real count of how many bodabodas operate
- ✓ Every bike and rider has a permanent digital record
- ✓ Levies via M-Pesa, SalamaPay or eCitizen — auditable
- ✓ Any inspector scans a QR code to verify instantly
- ✓ Every bike links to a named, traceable owner and rider
- ✓ Real-time county dashboard of the entire fleet

Capability explorer
Twelve tools, four jobs to be done.
Select a category to see what the platform does. Everything a county needs — identity, payments, enforcement and oversight — in one system.
The admin command centre
The whole county fleet, on one screen.
County officials get a live dashboard of every owner, motorcycle, rider, payment and incident — filterable, exportable, and always current. Here is a preview.
Preview only — all names, ID numbers and figures shown are sample data to illustrate the interface.
Why this is good for government
Security, compliance, and welfare — by design.
Crime reduction and accountability
- Every bike linked to a named, phone-verified owner
- Rider identity vetted via ID, photo and good-conduct checks
- Public incident reporting builds a community safety net
- GPS tracking helps locate high-risk and stolen bikes
- Tamper-proof audit log of every official action
Regulation made enforceable
- Automatic flags for missing insurance or expired levies
- Renewal reminders sent the moment a record lapses
- Documents cross-referenced against originals on inspection
- SACCO, stage and route data captured for the first time
- Compliance status visible from the county office, live
Dignity for every rider
- A government ID opens access to banking and loans
- Next-of-kin on record for emergency response
- A right of appeal protects honest riders from false reports
- A verifiable work history supports better jobs and welfare
Estimate your county's revenue
Not a cost centre — a revenue-generating asset.
Adjust the figures for your county and see the projected annual revenue update live. Riders are estimated at 1.5× the number of owners.
Each year uses the proposal's own published coverage, compliance and fine figures — nothing here is invented.
Figures are the proposal's published Year-2 projection (national model: 2,000,000 owners / 3,000,000 riders), scaled to your county's fleet size. This assumes your county reaches the same coverage and compliance as the national model.
Illustrative national projection
From KES 1.81B to KES 3.15B in three years.
Modelled on 2,000,000 owners and 3,000,000 riders, scaling from 50% rollout in Year 1 to full coverage by Year 3.

Implementation roadmap
Live in your county in under 90 days.
The system is already built and tested. Deployment is about training and enforcement — not construction.
Why now
The timing favours the county that moves first.
The system is already built
Not a request to fund software from scratch. The platform exists, is fully functional and tested end-to-end — the county carries no technology risk.
Kenya is ready
With M-Pesa penetration above 80% and rising smartphone ownership, the means to pay levies and scan QR codes is already in every rider's pocket.
Regulatory tailwinds
The NTSA and National Police Service have both called for stronger accountability in the bodaboda sector. This platform answers that call directly.
First-mover advantage
No county yet runs a fully digital bodaboda system at this completeness. The first to launch sets the national standard and attracts partner funding.
Ready to deploy in 90 days.
The Bodaboda Management System is built, tested, and waiting for a county partner. Every day without it is uncollected revenue, unaccountable riders, and avoidable accidents.
