Matatu protest halts transport in Nyeri over terminus relocation

Transport was paralysed in Nyeri town, as Matatu operators withdrew their vehicles from the roads to protest a directive by the Nyeri county government to move them to the Field Marshall Muthoni Kirima bus Terminus. The operators, who claim that the move will lead to loss of livelihoods for those who fend off the matatu business, want the county government to reverse the decision. The operators have since asked residents to find alternative transport means until the standoff is resolved.
