Picha iliyoundwa na AI

Serikali na wadau wa usafiri wamefikia makubaliano ya kusitisha mgomo wa matatu kwa wiki moja baada ya mazungumzo Jumanne. Hii inaruhusu mazungumzo zaidi kuhusu bei ya mafuta.

Mgomo ulioanza Jumatatu Mei 18 ulisababisha usumbufu mkubwa katika usafiri kote nchini. Waziri wa Usalama Kipchumba Murkomen alitangaza kusitishwa kwa mgomo huo baada ya mkutano huko Harambee House.

Wamiliki wa matatu wameonya kuwa mgomo unaweza kurejea ikiwa serikali haitatekeleza ahadi zake. Gavana wa Nairobi Johnson Sakaja atahudumu kama mdhamini wa mazungumzo hayo.

Super Metro imeahidi kupunguza nauli kufuatia kupungua kwa bei ya dizeli kwa Sh10 kwa lita. Mazungumzo yataendelea hadi Mei 26.
