    put on the table. They have gone out of their way to ensure that they have some coins in their pocket and some have been doing that for the bodaboda business. The business has been lucrative in the county and that can be attributed to the high number of motorbikes that are gracing the streets. One would think that the business is all buttered until one takes a clinical look at what goes on behind the scenes.
