George Natembeya warns matatu saccos cashing in on new Covid-19 measures
Travellers are pictured at the Kitui Town bus terminus on March 26, 2021, following a cessation of movement order affecting Nairobi, Kajiado, Machakos, Kiambu and Nakuru counties.
In Nakuru County, for instance, public transport vehicles ferrying passengers to Nairobi raised fares from the usual Sh600 to between Sh2000 and Sh3,000.
Matatu operators hiking fares following the lockdown of five counties over the Covid-19 pandemic will be arrested, Rift Valley Regional Coordinator George Natembeya has warned.
Mr Natembeya noted Saturday that the pandemic has greatly affected everybody in the country, so there is no need to harass commuters.
