The National Police Service (NPS) has put transport sector agitators on notice ahead of a planned matatu strike on Monday, May 18, warning that any disruptive conduct will be dealt with firmly and in accordance with the law.
The warning comes as matatu operators, boda boda associations, motorists, tourism transporters and logistics players threaten to withdraw vehicles from roads and block all major highways in protest over a sharp rise in fuel prices.
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) recently raised the cost of diesel by Sh46.29 per litre and super petrol by Sh16.65 per litre, pushing diesel to Sh242.92 and super petrol to Sh214.25 per litre.
