The National Police Service (NPS) has issued a warning to transport operators planning a strike on Monday, May 18, over soaring fuel prices.

• Matatu operators, boda boda associations, and other transport stakeholders are threatening to withdraw vehicles and block highways.
• The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) recently increased diesel by Sh46.29 per litre and super petrol by Sh16.65 per litre.
• NPS Spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga stated that disruptive conduct will be dealt with "firmly and in accordance with the law."
• Despite the NPS warning, some groups like the United Transport Association of Kenya (UTAK) have distanced themselves from the strike, though organizations like the Federation of Public Transport Sector have vowed to go ahead with "strictly no movement of any vehicles."
