How muggers rule the night at Machakos country bus

Nairobi City’s main bus station for upcountry travelers is ironically feared by many because of harassment and ambush by night muggers, who are mostly disguised as ‘manambas’. Many travelers try to avoid it by all means especially when travelling at night.

Despite operating normally like any bus station in Nairobi during day time, the scenario is quite different at night. Goons pretending to be regular ‘manambas’ seek customers for different destinations, as explained by Ken Onsongo, who once fell a victim while heading to Kisii.
