President William Ruto has directed the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to halt its planned ban and subsequent crackdown on matatu graffiti, decorative artwork, and tinted windows.

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

Speaking at the State House, Mombasa, on May 22, following talks with public transport operators, President Ruto asked NTSA to shelve the plans that were okayed by the High Court.

This directive brings immediate relief to public service vehicle (PSV) operators and artists after a period of intense legal battles regarding Kenya's famous nganya transport culture.

“I have directed the NTSA to facilitate an enabling environment for matatu operators to continue utilising artwork and graffiti on their vehicles in a manner that upholds safety and respect for other road users,” Ruto directed.
