Wadau wa matatu wasisitiza kupunguzwa zaidi kwa bei ya mafuta

Muda wa kusitishwa kwa mgomo wa matatu unazidi kuyoyoma huku wadau wakidai punguzo la Sh46 kwa bei ya mafuta.

Katika mkutano wa dharura, Kennedy Kaunda alisema hakukubaliana na taarifa ya serikali isipokuwa muda wa kuondoka. Alisisitiza kuwa walikubaliana tu juu ya muda wa kutoka ukumbini.

Waziri Opiyo Wandayi alitangaza punguzo la Sh10 kwa bei ya dizeli. Hata hivyo, viongozi wa sekta ya matatu walisema hatua hiyo haitoshi.

Albert Karakacha alisema kiwango cha chini ni Sh46 na walitarajia mazungumzo zaidi kabla ya Jumanne. Peter Mwangi alikanusha madai ya hongo na kusisitiza ushirikiano na gavana wa Nairobi.
