Ruto ordena que NTSA suspenda proibição de grafites em matatus

O presidente William Ruto orientou a Autoridade Nacional de Transporte e Segurança (NTSA) a suspender seu plano de remover grafites dos matatus. A diretriz segue uma decisão da Alta Corte que havia mantido a ordem anterior da autoridade. Ruto fez o anúncio na State House em Mombaça após conversas com partes interessadas do setor de transporte.

O presidente Ruto afirmou que instruiu a NTSA a criar condições que permitam aos proprietários de matatus manter desenhos artísticos e grafites, desde que atendam aos padrões de segurança.

A NTSA emitiu sua ordem de remoção em maio de 2025, abrangendo decorações externas e vidros fumê. Em 29 de abril de 2026, a Alta Corte indeferiu uma petição dos proprietários de matatus contra a medida.

Ruto expressou insatisfação e observou que os proprietários lhe informaram que foram ordenados a remover os grafites. A NTSA havia defendido a medida alegando motivos de segurança viária.
