Top Actor Gerald Langiri Opens Up About Being In Mtito Andei Because The Modern Coast Bus He Was On Wanted To Avoid Police Road Blocks
I recently came across a story about Geral Langiri being stranded in Mtito Andei while on his way toi Mombasa and all this was allegedly occasioned by pure negligence. Well, what allegedly happened was that he was on a Modern Coast bus in transit to Mombasa but the bus was stopped at Imani and the driver refused to leave citing police harrassment at Athi River.
This was his side of things:
So Alexander Konstantaras and I leave Nairobi for Mombasa at 10:30am using Modern Coast bus. We get to Imara at 10:45am. Thinking its one of those kawaida stops before the journey starts, we get out to buy a snack or two and head back to the bus with the rest of the passengers.The bus doesnt leave. An hour later,we are still at the same spot.Asking the driver and turn boy why,we are told there is a police operation going on at Athi River and buses are being stopped and harrased by the cops. 3 hours later,we are still at the total petrol station at Imara meanwhile the driver is telling us that they are waiting on their bosses to make “arrangements”.At 2pm we are finally told to board the bus and we are proceeding.As I write this,I am on a bed in some guest house in mtito Andei where we reached at 6pm for the usual stop,only to be told at 7pm that we cant continue with our journey to mombasa because of the night travel ban and we have to sort ourselves out till 5am when the journey will continue..I really want someone to blame and be angry at but i dont know who? Is it Muthutho and his night ban laws or Modern Coast bus for not sorting out their issues?
When I spoke to a Modern Coast representative, she informed me that she was unable to comment about the same as nothing untoward had been reported to them.
