Good news for commuters and travelers: the planned matatu strike scheduled for Monday, 2nd February 2026, has been suspended.
This decision follows successful consultations between representatives of Boda Boda Operators, PSV (Public Service Vehicle) Operators, and Security Agencies. All parties have agreed to prioritize dialogue to address underlying issues without disrupting public transport.
🤝 Next Steps for Transport Stakeholders
Further talks are scheduled to include:
Private Vehicle Owners
Freight Vehicle Operators
Coach Operators
Matatu Operators
National Police Service (NPS)
National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA)
The goal is to reach an amicable and sustainable solution that balances the interests of operators, regulators, and the traveling public.
