Matatu operators have suspended their ongoing strike for one week to allow high-level consultations between government and transport sector stakeholders aimed at resolving the dispute over fuel prices and related concerns.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen said the decision followed agreement on the need for urgent dialogue to address the grievances raised by operators.
“There was need for negotiations with the stakeholders at a high level and they will take place within the next one week,” Murkomen said.
He added that the suspension of the strike was necessary to create room for consultations and reduce further disruption to transport and economic activities.
