Matatu operators insist on bigger fuel price cut

The one-week suspension of the matatu strike is fading as operators demand a Sh46 reduction in fuel prices.

During the emergency meeting, Kennedy Kaunda said he did not agree with the government statement except on the time to leave the room. He stressed that the only agreement was on when to exit the hall.

Minister Opiyo Wandayi announced a Sh10 cut in diesel prices. However, matatu sector leaders said the move was insufficient.

Albert Karakacha said the minimum demand remains Sh46 and they expected further talks before Tuesday. Peter Mwangi denied bribery claims and highlighted cooperation with Nairobi governor.
