Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has appealed to financial institutions for loan relief for matatu operators following a nationwide strike that has now been suspended for a week of negotiations with the government.

• The nationwide matatu strike has been suspended until May 26.
• Key figures involved include Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, and representatives from the Association of Matatu Transport Owners and the Federation of Public Transport Sector.
