Thousands of commuters were stranded across Kenya after PSV operators launched a nationwide strike over soaring fuel prices.

Matatu operators threatens to strike and block roads on Monday over rising fuel costs; owners direct a 50 per cent fare increase following latest fuel price review.

Matatu operators have increased fares by half and threatened a strike action starting Monday, protesting the high cost of fuel.

As of 8:39 am, there was a heavy police presence at Kayole Junction along Kangundo Road.

CS Mbadi says, the matatu strike is completely uncalled for.

Kenya’s major highways and urban roads were turned into smoke, chaos and confusion on Monday as a nationwide matatu strike.
