The initiative aims to spotlight the outstanding contributions of drivers, who form the backbone of Bolt’s operations, while reinforcing the company’s dedication to creating opportunities that uplift and reward its driver partners.
Dimmy Kanyankole, General Manager Rides, Kenya said: “Drivers on our platform are more than just partners; they are at the core of our business and the communities we serve. Their resilience, dedication, and service excellence make mobility seamless for thousands of Kenyans every day. With ‘Drive for a Prize,’ we are not only celebrating their success but also affirming our ongoing commitment to support, empower, and reward the people who make Bolt possible.”
The highlight of the event was the recognition of top drivers across various categories, with prizes ranging from travel experiences courtesy of ViuTravel to exclusive fuel vouchers from Total Kenya, among other prizes.
One of the top winners, Evans Mutwol, who won a family trip and car accessories, expressed his gratitude: “I never imagined that my hard work would be celebrated this way. Driving with Bolt has given me the flexibility to provide for my family, and today’s recognition shows that Bolt truly values its drivers. Winning this prize motivates me to keep giving my best to riders every day.”
Another award recipient, Serah Njoki Esther added: “This award means so much to me because it shows that consistency and commitment don’t go unnoticed. It’s not just about the prize, but the respect and appreciation we feel as drivers. Thank you to Bolt and the partners for standing with us.”
