As partes interessadas no setor de transporte cancelaram uma greve planejada para a próxima semana após conversas com o presidente William Ruto na State House, em Mombaça.

O presidente da Associação de Proprietários de Matatus, Albert Karakacha, disse na sexta-feira que as partes interessadas concordaram em não prosseguir com a greve.

“Nós cancelamos a greve. Nós a havíamos suspendido, mas agora a cancelamos completamente, portanto, não haverá greve na próxima semana. Nós vamos trabalhar”, disse Karakacha.

As reuniões ocorreram na quinta e na sexta-feira, 21 e 22 de maio de 2026, após protestos desencadeados pelo aumento dos preços dos combustíveis. As partes interessadas trabalharão com o governo por uma semana para resolver a disputa.

O que as pessoas estão dizendo

As reações no X mostram sentimentos mistos: alguns usuários elogiam Ruto por evitar a greve, outros questionam as motivações e expressam preocupações com os passageiros que enfrentam potenciais aumentos nas tarifas.
