Mombasa tuktuk operators issue seven-day ultimatum

Tuktuk operators in Mombasa have given the county government a seven-day ultimatum to withdraw new instant fines and lift the suspension of the registration of new tuktuks. The operators say the measures were introduced without consultation and have threatened to paralyse transport services if the directives are not revoked. Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir has defended the crackdown, saying some tuktuks have been linked to criminal activities in the county.
