On a chilly evening in Zimmerman estate, Nairobi the boda boda stage was alive with its usual rhythm; engines idling, riders swapping banter, the occasional customer hopping on for a quick ride home.
James Moi was right in the middle of it, as he often is. As chairman of the Zebra Stage Boda Boda Association, he is not just another rider; he is a mobiliser, first point of contact, and leader in a space where urgency is part of daily life.
