Matatu operators across Kenya initiated a nationwide strike, leaving commuters to fend for themselves as transport services halted. The protest was a direct response to escalating fuel prices, significantly impacting the cost of operation. Separately, a group of Boda boda riders staged a protest in Nairobi demanding better pay and a reduction in commissions charged by the ride-hailing app Bolt.
