Online cab drivers in Kenya, operating under platforms like Uber, Bolt, and Little Cab, have issued a strike threat over alleged unfair exploitation by the companies. They demand fairer pricing, lower commissions, and better working conditions within seven days, having commenced a 40-day agitation campaign.

• Drivers claim platforms charge commissions of up to 21 percent, exceeding the 18 percent cap set by the Transport Network Companies (Rules and Regulations) 2022.
• The Amalgamation of Digital Taxi Transport Organisations Kenya is representing the drivers in their demands.
• Key grievances include unjust price reductions, unfair upfront fares, compensation for dead mileage, and the introduction of a wage council for the digital transport sector.
