The motorcycle has become the backbone of last-mile delivery across Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and beyond, yet most riders still coordinate work through phone calls, WhatsApp messages, and memory. A boda boda delivery app closes that gap by giving the rider the same operational tools that larger logistics companies take for granted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The gap matters because the motorcycle rider is often the entire delivery operation. They find the customer, negotiate the price, navigate the route, collect the payment, and confirm the handover, all without any system holding the details together. When something goes wrong, there is no record to refer to. When a customer wants to book again, they have to find the rider&#8217;s number. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> changes this by giving the rider a customer channel, a booking system, and a record of every trip that does not depend on memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_86 counter-hierarchy

class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Boda_Boda_Delivery_Needed_Its_Own_Tool\"><\/span><span class=\"\">Why Boda Boda Delivery Needed Its Own Tool<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Delivery apps built for cars and vans do not fit the way motorcycle delivery actually works in Kenya. The economics are different, the routes are different, and the customer relationship is different. A car-based platform assumes four wheels, larger cargo, and longer distances. A motorcycle rider works with smaller parcels, tighter turnarounds, and a customer base that is often local and repeat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">This is why a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pawa.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> has to be designed around the motorcycle rather than adapted from something else. The rider needs a booking link they can share on WhatsApp in seconds. The customer needs a way to request a pickup that does not involve typing out an address that does not formally exist. The payment needs to work with both cash and mobile money, because both are common. And the proof of delivery needs to be captured in a way that works when the rider is standing at a gate with a parcel in one hand and a phone in the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pms.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> built for these conditions looks different from a generic delivery platform. It assumes the rider is working alone or with a small circle of trusted colleagues. It assumes the customer relationship is personal and worth preserving. And it assumes that the record of what happened matters as much as the delivery itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Building_a_Customer_Base_Instead_of_Chasing_Trips\"><\/span><span class=\"\">Building a Customer Base Instead of Chasing Trips<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The hardest part of working as a boda boda rider is that most work arrives through someone else&#8217;s platform. A rider opens an app, waits for a request, accepts it, completes the trip, and then waits again. The customer belongs to the platform, not to the rider. The next time that customer needs something moved, they open the same app and are matched with whoever happens to be nearby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/estateadmin.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> reverses that arrangement by giving the rider a personal booking link. The rider sets up a profile with their name, motorcycle details, and service areas. The system generates a link such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/d\/john-kamau\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"\">dexa.co.ke\/d\/john-kamau<\/span><\/a><span class=\"\"> and a QR card that the rider can share or display. The next time a customer needs a delivery, they use the link. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/churchesadmin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> turns a single completed trip into a repeat relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">This shift from one-off trips to repeat customers changes the economics of motorcycle delivery. A rider with a roster of regular clients has predictable income rather than uncertain daily demand. They know who is likely to call, what areas they cover, and roughly how much they will earn in a week. That predictability is what allows a rider to plan, invest in their motorcycle, and build something that lasts longer than the next available request.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_QR_Card_That_Turns_a_Rider_Into_a_Brand\"><\/span><span class=\"\">The QR Card That Turns a Rider Into a Brand<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The QR card is a small piece of the boda boda delivery app that has an outsized effect. A rider hands over the card at the end of a delivery, or sticks it on the motorcycle, or shares it in a WhatsApp group. The customer scans it once and the rider is saved. There is no number to type, no contact to add manually, and no chance of the customer losing the details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The card works because it borrows a behaviour that Kenyans already perform daily. Scanning a code is familiar from mobile payments, menus, and promotions. Applying that habit to delivery booking removes the friction that otherwise prevents a satisfied customer from becoming a repeat customer. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vega.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> uses the QR card as a bridge between a single good delivery and an ongoing relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The same principle applies to the booking link. A rider can share it in a WhatsApp status, include it in a message, or paste it into a group. Every share is a small advertisement that costs nothing and works continuously. Over months, the link accumulates into a customer base that the rider owns rather than rents from a platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scheduling_Tracking_and_Money_in_One_Place\"><\/span><span class=\"\">Scheduling, Tracking, and Money in One Place<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">A rider using a boda boda delivery app needs three things visible at all times: what is scheduled, where the current delivery is, and how much has been earned. Scattered across separate tools, these three pieces of information create daily confusion. Held together, they allow the rider to work without stopping to reconstruct what is happening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The scheduling function lets a rider plan pickups in advance rather than accepting them one at a time. A customer who books for later in the day appears on the schedule alongside everything else. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dereva.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> keeps the day organised so the rider is not constantly checking messages to remember what comes next.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Tracking works the same way. The rider&#8217;s location is visible to the customer, which reduces the calls asking where the parcel is. The customer knows when to expect the delivery, and the rider is not interrupted while riding. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jaat.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> removes the most common source of friction between rider and customer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Money is the third piece. Earnings accumulate against each completed trip rather than being remembered at the end of the day. The rider can see what has been earned, what has been collected, and what remains outstanding. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wito.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> turns daily work into a financial picture that the rider can actually use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Payments_Without_the_Cash_Risk\"><\/span><span class=\"\">Payments Without the Cash Risk<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Cash remains common in motorcycle delivery, and it creates risk that riders carry personally. A rider collecting cash across a full day is carrying money that can be lost, stolen, or disputed. Mobile money reduces that risk, but only if the rider has a way to request and confirm payment at the point of delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/awasam.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> handles both methods with the same discipline. When a customer pays through mobile money, the transaction attaches to the trip automatically. When a rider collects cash, the collection is logged against the same trip before the rider moves on. The record covers both methods, so nothing depends on the rider remembering what was collected and from whom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Receipts are generated as a natural output. The customer receives confirmation, and the rider keeps a record. This matters when a question arises weeks later about whether a payment was made. The documentation built into a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/saseni.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> protects the rider as much as it protects the customer, because a recorded collection cannot be disputed from either side.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proof_of_Delivery_on_a_Motorcycle\"><\/span><span class=\"\">Proof of Delivery on a Motorcycle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Capturing proof of delivery on a motorcycle is harder than it sounds. The rider is standing at a gate, holding a parcel, and trying to complete the delivery without dropping anything. Any proof system that requires more than a few seconds of attention will be skipped under pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">This is why the proof features in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/prim.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> are designed to be quick. A photograph of the parcel at the delivery location. A signature if the customer is willing. A timestamp and location captured automatically. Together these elements produce a record that settles most disputes without requiring the rider to type anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">In a market where addresses are often landmarks rather than street numbers, the photograph carries particular weight. A picture of the parcel at the blue gate beside the petrol station establishes location in a way that written confirmation cannot. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rentaldesk.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> treats the photograph as a routine step rather than an optional extra, because the moments when proof matters most are precisely the ones that go unrecorded when it is left to discretion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Passing_Work_to_Trusted_Colleagues\"><\/span><span class=\"\">Passing Work to Trusted Colleagues<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">No rider can take every job. There are days when the schedule is full, the motorcycle needs servicing, or a personal commitment takes priority. In those moments, most riders simply lose the customer, because they have no way to hand the work to someone they trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fama.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> changes this by allowing a rider to offer a booking to a colleague rather than declining it. The customer stays with the rider who introduced them, the colleague gets paid for the work, and the relationship survives. The rider does not have to become a full-time dispatcher to make this work. The system handles the transfer without requiring manual coordination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">This feature matters because it turns a solo rider into a small network. A rider with two or three trusted colleagues can cover more ground, take on more work, and serve customers even when they are personally unavailable. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/spacekits.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> supports this without asking the rider to manage a team.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Working_Alongside_Existing_Platforms\"><\/span><span class=\"\">Working Alongside Existing Platforms<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">One of the practical decisions behind the boda boda delivery app is that it does not ask riders to abandon the platforms they already use. A rider working with a ride-hailing app for passenger trips can continue doing so. The delivery app works alongside by giving passengers and customers a way to request the rider directly next time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The logic is straightforward. A rider who completes a good trip and hands over a QR card gives the customer an option they did not have before. The customer can book the rider directly rather than going through a marketplace that takes a commission. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/spacekits.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> does not replace the rider&#8217;s existing work. It adds a channel that belongs to the rider and produces income that is not subject to someone else&#8217;s pricing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">For riders who also work with courier teams, the same app supports that arrangement. A rider can be part of a team&#8217;s dispatch while also maintaining their own customer channel. The two do not conflict, because the app treats each booking as a separate record with its own customer, payment, and proof.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Conditions_the_App_Is_Built_For\"><\/span><span class=\"\">The Conditions the App Is Built For<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">A boda boda delivery app designed for Kenya has to account for conditions that apps built elsewhere can ignore. Traffic congestion in Nairobi ranks among the worst in Africa, and delivery times are unpredictable. Addresses are often landmarks rather than street numbers. Network coverage is uneven in some areas, which means the app must continue capturing records when connectivity drops and sync them automatically when it returns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Pricing needs to work as part of the booking record rather than as a separate negotiation. The agreed fee is captured when the booking is confirmed, so the rider knows what to collect and the customer knows what to pay. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/spacekits.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> handles this without requiring the rider to quote a figure at the door, which is where most cash disputes begin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The app also needs to work on the phones riders actually use. Battery life matters over a long shift, and data consumption has to be modest for riders paying for their own airtime. Systems designed for the Kenyan market account for these constraints from the beginning rather than treating them as problems to solve later.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_Solo_Rider_to_Small_Business\"><\/span><span class=\"\">From Solo Rider to Small Business<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The progression from solo rider to small business is one of the more important things a boda boda delivery app makes possible. A rider starts with a booking link and a QR card. The link produces repeat customers. The schedule fills. The rider begins passing work to trusted colleagues. Over time, the rider is no longer simply completing trips but running a small operation with a customer base, a reputation, and a record of everything delivered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">That progression happens without the rider having to negotiate commission rates with a platform or compete for every job against every other rider. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/spacekits.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> gives the rider the tools to build something that belongs to them rather than to an algorithm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The same tools support riders who prefer to remain solo. Not every rider wants to manage other people, and the app does not require it. A rider can use the booking link, the scheduling, the payment records, and the proof of delivery features without ever adding a colleague. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/spacekits.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> scales to the size of the operation rather than assuming a particular ambition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Riders_Gain_From_a_Proper_System\"><\/span><span class=\"\">What Riders Gain From a Proper System<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The immediate gain is a quieter phone. When customers can see where their delivery is, they stop calling to ask. When bookings arrive through a link, the rider does not have to negotiate every job from scratch. When payments are recorded automatically, nobody has to reconcile from memory at the end of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The second gain is protection. A rider with a recorded delivery, a payment log, and a proof photograph has evidence against false claims. A customer who says a parcel never arrived can be shown the record. A dispute about what was collected can be settled from the log. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/spacekits.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> protects the rider as much as it protects the customer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">The third gain is a customer base that compounds. Every satisfied customer who saves the booking link is a potential repeat job. Over months, those links accumulate into a roster of regular clients and predictable income. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/spacekits.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span class=\"\"> turns daily work into an asset that grows rather than resets each morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Boda_Boda_Delivery_Is_Heading\"><\/span><span class=\"\">Where Boda Boda Delivery Is Heading<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Several shifts are reshaping motorcycle delivery in Kenya. Electric motorcycles are becoming more common, and their lower running costs change the economics of short-distance work. Charging costs a fraction of fuelling, and maintenance requirements are lighter. Riders using electric motorcycles keep more of what they earn, and the boda boda delivery app supports both vehicle types without distinction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Mobile money integration continues to deepen, and the connection between payment confirmation and delivery confirmation is becoming tighter. Government investment in intelligent traffic management is gradually improving movement across Nairobi, which will make arrival estimates generated by the app more reliable over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">What will not change is the underlying requirement: a rider needs to be findable, to accept work without friction, to collect payment safely, and to have a record of what was delivered. That requirement sits at the centre of what a boda boda delivery app should provide.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_the_Right_App\"><\/span><span class=\"\">Choosing the Right App<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Riders evaluating options should focus on a few practical questions. Can the app give them a customer channel of their own, or does it keep customers locked inside a platform? Does it handle both cash and mobile money without treating one as an exception? Does it work when the network drops? Can proof of delivery be captured in seconds rather than minutes? Can the rider pass work to a colleague without losing the customer?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">An app that answers these well will not create new problems as the rider&#8217;s business grows. An app that answers only some will leave gaps, and gaps are where money disappears and disputes develop. The difference between the two is rarely visible in a demonstration, which is why testing with real deliveries across a fortnight is worth the effort before committing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">A <\/span><strong><span class=\"\">boda boda delivery app<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\"> is not simply a way to accept jobs. It is the infrastructure that turns a rider from someone who completes trips into someone who runs a delivery business. It gives them a customer channel, a booking link, a QR card, a schedule, a payment record, and a proof of delivery that does not depend on memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">For riders working across Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and beyond, the boda boda delivery app from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"\">dexa.co.ke<\/span><\/a><span class=\"\"> is built for the work they actually do. It supports the motorcycle, the cash and mobile money mix, the landmark addresses, and the reality of a rider trying to build something that lasts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">From the first booking to the final confirmed delivery, the record stays with the trip. Nothing has to be reconstructed from memory. Nothing gets lost between the request and the delivery. The rider builds a business, and the app makes sure nothing falls through the cracks along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A boda boda delivery app sits at the intersection of two realities that define Kenyan logistics: the motorcycle is the most practical vehicle for&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-courier-management-software"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1391"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1393,"href":"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1391\/revisions\/1393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
