The actualization of ‘Michuki’ traffic rules has left most corrupt police officers exposed! The hunter became the hunted, yesterday, when passengers who had boarded a Matatu on the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway and witnessed a corrupt police officer take a bribe confronted the police officer, took all the bribe money he had collected, after a lengthy scuffle. The helpless policeman had no option than to surrender all the day’s loot to the passengers.

The passengers then shared the loot among themselves, boarded their vehicle and drove off. See the video, on the link below ( Courtesy).

NTSA’s warning to Matatu Drivers and Conductors

Leave a comment

The National Transport and Safety Authority, NTSA, has issued a strong warning to Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) after it emerged that the conductors were increasing fares arbitrarily. “Our attention has been drawn to complaints by members of the public regarding exploitation through arbitrary increase of fares by PSV operators,” reads a press release by the NTSA dated 4th December, 2018.

Most passengers have reported massive increases in fares by the PSVs after the implementation of the tough Traffic rules, popularly known as ‘the Michuki Rules.’ In some cases, the operators have raised the fares by over hundred percent causing agony to travelers.

A Public Service Vehicle, PSV, commonly called a 'Nissan' or 'Matatu'. The NTSA has warned PSV operators on reported arbitrary increase in fares.

The NTSA now says it will crack down on rogue operators and revoke their licences. “Consequently, arbitrary increase of fares is contrary to the National Transport and Safety Authority Act No. 33 of 2012. We therefore reiterate that an operator risks revocation of their road service licence should the Authority receive a report of such an increase,” the Transport Authority warns.

NTSA further urges members of the public to report any cases of exploitation by the PSV operators for action to be taken. “We urge the public to report incidences of arbitrary increase of fare through the free NTSA App (Mobile Phone Application) available on Google Play Store,” Says the NTSA via the presser.
