Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja is rallying for a raise in payment of taxi drivers who he says are poorly commissioned by taxi hailing companies.

Speaking during this year's Labour Day celebrations at Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi, Sakaja challenged the Competition Authority of Kenya and other stakeholders in the taxi business to come to the rescue of the operators who he says are being paid so little compared to the great service they deliver.
