Sonko suspends Matatu ban with immediate effect after outcry
Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has made a surprising U-turn over the City Hall ban on matatus after neurmour complains from Kenyans.
Despite saying that the ban will stay, the governor today announced that the ban must be suspended after the chaos Nairobi was put through.
“I have met this morning with the affected PSV operators with a view to agreeing an acceptable solution that has less negative implication on all affected. During the coming days, I will continue to hold discussions with affected parties to find a way forward,” said Sonko.
Jam
The ban kicked off yesterday but worsened the situation in CBD as long traffic jams snarled up movement in Nairobi.
“I have noted with deep concern the plight of Nairobi residents as a result of the ban, and hereby announce that the full implementation of this directive has been suspended with immediate effect. This is to facilitate further consultation with all affected parties, in order to find a lasting solution to the problem of vehicular congestion.
