MPs Investigate Motorcycle Loan Firms Over Repossessions of Motorcycles

The planned sale of repossessed boda bodas comes amid increased parliamentary scrutiny of asset-financing firms over their lending and recovery practices in the boda boda sector.

Earlier, the National Assembly’s Finance and National Planning Committee summoned five leading motorcycle asset financiers—Watu Credit Limited, MOGO Motorcycles Kenya, JoyInc Group, 15 Minutes and My Boda—to respond to complaints of exploitative credit terms, irregular repossessions and delayed transfer of motorcycle ownership to borrowers.

Lawmakers raised concerns over the high cost of financed motorcycles, with some riders reportedly paying between KSh204,000 and more than KSh575,000 for a single motorcycle over the loan period.

The committee also received complaints from operators who alleged that motorcycles were sometimes repossessed under unclear circumstances or stolen despite being fitted with tracking devices.

Others claimed they completed their loan repayments but experienced delays in receiving their original logbooks.

To address the concerns, the committee, chaired by Molo MP Kuria Kimani, launched a public participation exercise, inviting affected riders to submit complaints and supporting documents.

Parliament is also working with the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) and the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) to explore stricter regulations governing Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) motorcycle financing and consumer protection.
