Ruto ordonne à la NTSA de suspendre l'interdiction des graffitis sur les matatus

Le président William Ruto a ordonné à la National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) de suspendre son projet visant à supprimer les graffitis sur les matatus. Cette directive fait suite à une décision de la Haute Cour confirmant l'ordre initial de l'autorité. Ruto a fait cette annonce à la State House de Mombasa après des entretiens avec les acteurs du secteur des transports.

Le président Ruto a déclaré avoir ordonné à la NTSA de créer les conditions permettant aux propriétaires de matatus de conserver les dessins artistiques et les graffitis, à condition qu'ils respectent les normes de sécurité.

La NTSA a émis son ordre de retrait en mai 2025, couvrant les décorations extérieures et les vitres teintées. Le 29 avril 2026, la Haute Cour a rejeté une pétition déposée par les propriétaires de matatus contre cette mesure.

Ruto a exprimé son mécontentement et a souligné que les propriétaires lui avaient indiqué avoir reçu l'ordre de retirer les graffitis. La NTSA avait défendu cette mesure en invoquant des raisons de sécurité routière.
