Online taxi drivers in Kenya have recently shed light on the challenges they encounter while performing their duties. Jackson Orwa and Maureen Njoroge, two Kenyan taxi drivers, shared their experiences on the Dr. King’ori show on NTV, addressing the issue of unwanted advances from clients.
Orwa confirmed the rumors regarding unwanted advances, recounting an incident he had experienced. He stated, “It is true. I picked three girls from Kilimani at night destined for Thika Road. They were gorgeous.” However, the situation took an unexpected turn during the journey. “When we reached Muthaiga, the two women in the back seat started removing clothes. The one in the front seat started touching me,” Orwa explained. Feeling uncomfortable and alarmed, he decided to take action.
Orwa stopped the vehicle, and the three women requested that he engage in intimate activities with them. He firmly refused, fearing for his safety and reputation. “They begged me to give it to them for just a minute. However, I refused and threatened not to move the vehicle and become a target for carjackers,” he added. Orwa then instructed the two women to get dressed before continuing the trip. Despite his refusal, the women insulted him, questioning his ability to satisfy them.
Orwa emphasized that he declined their advances because the passengers were not in their right state of mind, and he was a married man guided by principles. Maureen, another female cab driver, shared a similar experience. She typically only worked during the day and once had a male passenger who appeared tipsy. To accommodate him, she allowed him to sit in the front seat due to his claimed issue with his feet.
However, when the man began making advances, Maureen promptly ended the trip to ensure her safety and comfort. The stories shared by these taxi drivers shed light on the challenges they face, including dealing with inappropriate client behavior. Their experiences highlight the need for respect and professionalism in the industry, emphasizing that drivers should not be subjected to unwanted advances while carrying out their work.
