Only Two Matatus from a Sacco to be allowed into the CBD

A directive has been passed by the County Government of Nairobi to allow only two public service vehicles from one Sacco into the CBD at ago.

The move was reached upon as a way of reducing public service vehicles from congesting the Central Business District as is the case currently.

According to City Hall Director of Operations Peter Mbaya, the directive has already started and they are working on ensuring that there is sustainable implementation

“We are now implementing the two vehicles per Sacco rule but since it takes effect today, we are not making any arrests. From Monday those who defy will be arrested,” Mbaya said.

Mbaya added that the Matatu Sacco’s will look for their own holding spaces as the county provision is to provide picking and dropping spots.

The crackdown, set to officially be implemented from Monday 28th will see passenger using the Thika Super Highway, Limuru, Kiambu stop at Muang’s Road A and B and Desai Stages.

Those on the other hand, commuters coming from Langata, Ngong and Mombasa roads will only go as far as Railways Bus Station while those from Jogoo Road will end their journey at Muthurwa. Commuters from Waiyaki Way will alight at the Westlands stage.

Nairobi County Government demolished all illegal structures in various bus termini to pave way for the ban of the matatus in the CBD.
