Title: President Kenyatta lifts ban on 14-seater matatus, allows use of graffiti on PSV
Post by: bittertruth on November 05, 2014, 07:37:55 PM
He is back with PR bang!!! It almost went to Kanyari.

I support the decision though.

“I personally do not see anything wrong with the art-work and creativity in Matatu’s and we should surely support our youth to do business with their talents, as long as it does not interfere with driver’s vision and other regulations,” said Kenyatta.

Economics will take care of the 14 seater.
Graffiti - no comment

Were it not for the ban, methinks the 33 seater wouldn't even thrive.
But am yet to see any meaningful research in this sector. what have seen are irrational decisions left right centre.

can't understand why kenyan govt officials are so concerned and obsessed with private businesses which seem to be thriving instead of thinking of collapsing public service provision- security, health, education, roads, garbage collection, sewerage, water, toilets

too much nonsensical regulations ..

Nairobi leave rest of kenya ain't london..fact that we have boda boda in CBD should awake commonsense in those official talking about ban on matatus, proboxes

Precisely. They put in regulation in thriving sectors to benefit from corruption.

We have very few matatus in Kenya,wikipedia puts the number at 25,000 and not all are in Nairobi,seems vehicles which cause traffic jams are private cars,

Without Prejudice.

Agreed. It could mark the beginning of lawlessness as well. We take 1 stride forward but then 2 backwards. But I hear even Jomo has a soft spot for matatu operators.
In first world countries you find people standing in buses, trains etc, especially those operating within towns.

Below is a real-time traffic snapshot at Uhuru Highway/Kenyatta Ave Rndbt.
How many tankers can you see in this deadlock?
