A video shared online shows one of the matatus stopping on a busy road to pick up passengers, causing a traffic snarl-up. The incident has raised concerns about the influence of powerful individuals in the transportation sector. The video has sparked a heated debate about the behavior of these matatus and the role of traffic authorities in regulating their operations.
According to reports, George Ruto has started his own Sacco, dubbed 98 Sacco, which is competing with Super Metro along some routes. This has led to tensions between the two operators, with the confrontation nearly turning physical. The argument between the operators of Super Metro buses and crew members of the matatus linked to George Ruto highlights the competition and rivalry between different transport operators in Kenya.
