TRANSCRIPTION OF ELDORET ROAD SAFETY TRAINING BROADCASTED ON KASS FM.
REPORTER: According to Elphas Kirwa who is the coordinator at Global Civic Sharing International, is that they have been able to reach 300 Bodaa operators in Uasin Gishu County So as to teach them on road safety and give them riding protective gears.
ELPHAS KIRWA: We have been here today for road safety education. We are going round Uasin Gishu teaching Bodaa riders on ways of how to use and behave on the road. We have a project called Bodaa Salama Project and we are working with 10 groups of Bodaa riders of which each group is made up of 30 operators. We have today trained them on road safety.
REPORTER: The operators have been able to receive education which will help them know the road rules that will help them in there day to day activities in the Bodaa industry.
ELPHAS KIRWA: We have taken them through safety education and finally given the riding gears to protect them on the road.
REPORTER: The operators are so happy for the training that they have received from Global Civic Sharing saying that this is a privilege for them as Bodaa riders.
MATHEW: We have been taught about road safety and also how to ride on the road. We have received good training from Global Civic Sharing. It has helped us to grow as a group.
NAOMI: They have helped us a lot like for my case I never had a driving license but for now they have helped me get one. I have also undergone Gender sensitivity and Human Rights training which has helped me to know how to advocate for rights of women in the community by telling them that they can also join the industry and ride bikes just like men do. Also, today I have undergone a training on road safety.
BWIRE: I have liked this program because it is a great one. It creates awareness on road safety especially to Bodaa riders. We have benefited and we are looking forward to a greater future of being empowered and supported by this company.
