Just like matatus, the boda boda started off without any form of regulation. boda boda motorcycles became popular because they could use all possible routes to get their pillion passengers to their destination even during heavy traffic congestion. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.kippra.or.ke/handle/123456789/1164 Vihiga County Integrated Transport Policy 2015 As we commence the implementation of County’s Development Strategy as outlined in the County Integrated Development Plan, the county positions itself into the promising future through consolidating, enhancing and sustaining the gains made since inception of devolution.

A robust and efficient transport sector will not only be important in improving the competitiveness of products from the County and the region, but also serve as a significant basis upon which the economic, social and political pillars of the development strategy will be built. Further, the sector is expected to remain a key component in tackling such challenges as reduction of poverty by half by the year 2015 and overall improvement in the general welfare of the population. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.kippra.or.ke/handle/123456789/1163 The Vihiga County Environment Policy 2019 This Vihiga County Environment Policy 2019 gives a framework for addressing environmental issues in the County.
