This is Why Kenyans Are Talking About These Matatu Touts!

Everyone I know has a tall strange tale to narrate about the Kenyan touts, they are a lot that thrive in sadistic exploitation of the common mwananchi who use the public transport. They are to be found running into the dark with your fare balance, abusing you and sometimes ignoring your plea for help… 

The  Chairman of National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD) Dr. David Ole  Sankok praised touts from kinoo who have been helping people with disabilities board or alight from matatus. In a statement, he reiterated: 

“As the chairman of NCPWD one of the major challenges facing my significant constituent is public transport. We have lobbied, we have complained and we have scratched our heads due to this headache.But at this point I wish to congratulate this driver and his conductor who work in Nairobi town -Kinoo. Every single day they go to Westlands ,ABC place to pick staff with disabilities from their places of work and drive them to their homes at normal bus fare rates. This saves them the agony of crossing the busy Waiyaki way and also saves them the hassle of bus drivers leaving them stranded at bus stops.It is great compassion and humanity. I wish to request for more champions who are in the matatu industry who will support our journey in accessing public transport.”

Here are the amazing touts who were being praised.
