Transport sector stakeholders have canceled a strike planned for next week following talks with President William Ruto at the State House in Mombasa.
Matatu Owners Association chairman Albert Karakacha said on Friday that stakeholders had agreed not to proceed with the strike.
“We have canceled the strike. We had suspended it, but now we have canceled it completely, so there will be no strike next week. We will work,” Karakacha said.
The meetings took place on Thursday and Friday, May 21 and 22, 2026, after protests triggered by rising fuel prices. Stakeholders will work with the government for one week to resolve the dispute.
