Matatu operators are threatening a nationwide strike and have already increased fares by 50% starting Monday, 18, in protest of high fuel costs.

• Fares have been increased by 50%.
• Key figures include Albert Karakacha, chairman of the Matatu Owners Association, and representatives from boda boda, motorists, tourism transporters, and logistics sectors.
• The operators were not consulted about the fuel price review and accuse the government of overtaxing Kenyans and failing to stabilize prices through the government-to-government fuel imports.
