243 matatus grounded after a woman was STR!PP£D and F!NG£R£D inside oneof their buses.

Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) on Friday grounded all vehicles operating under NAZIGI SACCO after a young woman was “str!pp3d and f!ng£r£d” inside one of the buses operating under it.

Addressing the press at his office in Nairobi, NTSA Executive Director, Francis Meja, said the traffic boss has been instructed to impound any vehicle belonging to the sacco found operating. 

"We investigated and found an assault took place in a PSV under Nazigi, which is a duly registered Sacco. All 243 vehicles operating the Githurai-Nairobi route have been suspended and are required to present all their vehicles to the authority for inspection within 14 days,” Meja said.

The director also said the authority has received increasing reports of women being stripped naked by suspected public service vehicle conductors and drivers over the last two weeks. 

“We hope that these actions will serve as a warning to all PSVs operators and their employees that harassment of women and other passengers as a whole will not be tolerated by NTSA," Meja said.

The vehicles operate between Zimmerman, Githurai and Kahawa West.
