The resurgence of matatu extortion gangs in Central Kenya is yet another indication that the crucial public transport sector is headed in the wrong direction.
In Murang’a, matatu crews plying Kaharate-Kangare road in Kigumo sub-county are forced to pay Sh200 daily. The gang also charges a Sh175,000 "registration fee" for all new matatus on the route. In addition, new drivers are charged Sh5,000 while touts have to part with Sh2,500.
