Cab-hailing app company Bolt alleges that they have suspended a driver registered to their app who was seen flashing his private parts while driving a female customer.
In the now-viral video, the driver unzipped his pants while ferrying some female passengers. When the lady who was seated in the co-passenger seat noticed the uncouth act, she immediately ordered him to stop the car and drop them off.
The lady asked the driver “Why are you undressing? Drop me here!”
The lady then signaled her friend who was sitting in the backseat saying, “Sally! Alight! This man is naked.”
She then ordered the driver “Drop me here.”
The distasteful video which was then later posted on X, formerly Twitter, by former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, prompted Bolt to respond.
Bolt later said that appropriate action had been taken on the driver and that he had been banned from providing any services on their platform.
“We are also actively engaging with the affected rider, and once again take this opportunity to express our sincere concern and empathy over this unfortunate incident,” stated Bolt.
The app company further asserted that they value the safety of their customers and will never tolerate such behaviour from their drivers.
