Mlolongo footbridge taken over by bodaboda riders, hawkers

Residents of mlolongo in Machakos County have expressed growing concerns about their safety on a footbridge that has been overtaken by boda boda riders and hawkers, creating confusion and chaos. Once intended to be a safe passage for pedestrians, the footbridge has now become a hazardous space, endangering lives and encouraging the snatching of belongings by thieves on motorbikes. As Emily Chebet reports, people living with disabilities are the most vulnerable, struggling to navigate this increasingly dangerous bridge.
