Concerned Kenyan lady appeals to public to end gross misconduct in public transport.

More often we use public transport while going to our workplaces, visit our friends or relatives and when on other personal engagements.

Ms. Whitney Hamisi does not like her experience when using public transport just like you and me.

She has since taken it up to appeal and campaign for a likely hard to achieve change in the sector through her message as herein.

She posted this touching message on her social media;

" Today on my way to maseno I was seated at the far end in a matatu, then, as usual, we have to wait until its full (overloaded) in order for us to leave. I observed how people got in since I was behind I could see everything going on, who gets in and who gets out.

The conductor arranged people how they would sit and finally, the 'sambazas' were put to place. Its a normal thing for Kenyans so people still got in and sat on the wooden plates.

Now its time to leave and the conductor has to get in, so in mind, I knew what comes next is him hanging at the door. Apparently, he did not but instead he (observe the picture below).

Sincerely if you lean on someone and put your armpit directly on their face, what goes on in your mind? Kenya police at the roadside are ready to take bribes from the conductor and the driver. A 14 seater carrying 19 passengers!!!!.

Is this justice!!!! Are we helping the wananchi or instead encouraging accidents on our roads.

It is my plea as a frequent user of public transport that we refuse to be overloaded in a matatu.

We can say no to this kind of act. Change starts with us. Let us not get into a matatu if it's packed and they(conductors and drivers) will get used to it. The traffic police kindly help us.

Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.

Taking bribes won't build you a mansion. Overloading people won't make you a millionaire," she posted.
