Hundreds of passengers, including students, were stranded in Nyeri on Monday, August 25, after public service vehicle (PSV) operators initiated a strike. They protested the county government's decision to relocate them to a new Sh600 million bus park.

• Matatu operations ceased from 6 am, with operators parking vehicles across the town's three bus parks.
• At least three matatu owners reported shattered windscreens while attempting to operate amidst the protest.
• The business community joined the strike, shutting down shops in solidarity with the operators, fearing significant losses.
• A High Court ruling earlier this year upheld the county government's relocation plan, which is intended to decongest the town.
• Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga defended the relocation, stating it is necessary for town decongestion and will be done "in a humane manner."
