Residents
of Nairobi this morning woke up to blocked road after matatu operators went on strike
over refusal by the county government to lower parking fees as earlier agreed. In the deal they
claim they struck with Nairobi governor
Evans Kidero,
14-seater matatu owners were to pay Sh3,650 down from Sh5,000 while 41-seater matatus would part with Sh5,500 down from Sh8,000. Matatus with a capacity of 41 passengers would pay Sh7,250.

Apparently
Inspector General
David Kimaiyo has ordered all police in Nairobi to tow all vehicles blocking
the road or causing obstruction and take them to police stations and traffic HQs and also their number plates
to be removed and handed over to the relevant authorities in the ministry of
transport and infrastructure.
Meanwhile Nairobi governor Evan Kidero has
said not talks will be held with the matatu official until the strike is called
off.
Here are
