"Fare will certainly go up because the cost of doing business is high," Matatu Owners Association chairperson Simon Kimutai said on Friday. He was reacting to Health CS Mutahi Kagwe's directive ordering PSV operators to carry less passengers in the fight against the coronavirus. He noted that 14 seater matatus should carry eight passengers only and 25 seater PSVS should carry 15 passengers. But speaking to the Star on the phone, Kimutai said CS Kagwe should tell PSV owners how to deal with the situation. We will have to do the total of 14 passengers and divide by the remaining," he said.
