Nationwide Matatu Strike Paralyzes Transport as Kenya Marks Gen Z Anniversary

A nationwide matatu strike has paralyzed transportation in Kenya as operators protest escalating fuel prices, coinciding with the second anniversary of Gen Z protests. Heavy security has been deployed at Kenya's Parliament as the nation marks this commemorative day. Transport disruptions and business closures have hit Nairobi as security agencies enforce restrictions amidst the strike. Social activist Boniface Mwangi stated he has dedicated half his life to fighting for Kenya without any financial compensation amidst the nationwide protest. The protests are driven by matatu operators demonstrating against the escalating cost of fuel.
