NAIROBI, KENYA: Police have warned matatu operators they will be prosecuted if they fail to screen their passengers and luggage as part of efforts to tame terrorism.
Nairobi police boss Benson Kibue warned yesterday they will take action against crew who fail to screen passengers before they board.
He revealed they will position armed police officers at various bus termini to boost security as the matatu staff carry out the exercise.
“We will send police to provide security in those areas. They must screen the passengers and know what is in their luggage,” said Kibue.
