What you need to know:

  • Matatu Owners Association chairman said that every operator should be held responsible for their misdeeds.
  • On matters going cashless, Mr Kimutai said it is not practical unless a law is enacted to implement the order.


Matatus are emerging as the weak link in the fight against Covid-19 after they were last week allowed to carry full capacity.

Most passengers are complaining that matatu crew are breaking Covid-19 rules by overloading and allowing maskless people to enter vehicles.
