Labour cabinet secretary Alfred Mutua has announced jobs for boda boda riders in Dubai.
Mutua revealed the news on Thursday, where he said a total of 600 jobs were available for hustlers, and everyone should be free to apply. A valid rider’s license, a current Certificate of Good Conduct, or documentation of an eCitizen application in progress are among the requirements, as is a valid Kenyan passport.
“Riders will earn 7.5 dirhams per delivery trip. The minimum daily average is 15 trips, translating to 112.5 dirhams per day. For 26 working days a month, this totals 2,925 dirhams (approximately 104,000 Kenyan shillings, tax-free). Riders with initiative can make upwards of 30 deliveries per day, increasing their earnings,” he said. “Successful applicants must be ready to travel to Dubai before the end of the year. I encourage all hustlers, especially bodaboda riders, to seize this opportunity and try their luck, he concluded.
