The government and transport stakeholders reached an agreement on Tuesday to suspend the matatu strike for one week. This allows for further talks on fuel prices.
The strike that began on Monday, May 18, caused major disruptions to transport across the country. Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen announced the suspension after a meeting at Harambee House in Nairobi.
Matatu owners warned that the strike could resume if the government fails to honour its commitments. Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja will serve as guarantor for the talks.
Super Metro has pledged to review fares downwards following the Ksh10 reduction in diesel prices per litre. Negotiations are set to continue until May 26.
