Motorists and truckers are set to join matatu operators in a nationwide strike on Monday, February 2, protesting increased lawlessness and violence on Kenyan roads, including repeated vehicle torchings.

• At least nine vehicles have been torched by mobs within one month, causing millions of shillings in losses.
• The strike is organized by the Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK), representing various transport sector players.
• In response, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and National Police Service (NPS) plan to pilot a new identification system for boda boda riders in Nairobi.
