City makangas will have to treat you with respect if you are pregnant, an old geezer or physically challenged if the Nairobi County Assembly enacts a Bill under deliberations into law. The Bill will also give Nairobians powers to suspend matatu Saccos, but will also protect makangas from rowdy passengers. Under the Bill, there will be no chewing miraa, smoking, drinking alcohol or abusing drugs inside a matatu.

The law will deal a death blow to excessive vehicle pimping especially noisy exhausters, hooters, windows tinting and installation of light-emitting diodes.
