City Hall, Nairobi MCAs battle for control of lucrative Matatu stagesA fight for control of Nairobi Matatu stages has erupted between the County Executive and city MCAs. In February, City Hall halted the issuance of new licences to Matatu saccos following revelations that more than 400 unregistered Matatu saccos were operating illegally. In response to the letter, Engineer Kimathi, on February 7, 2020, approved route extension to Expreso Limited to cover Kiserian-Rongai-KNH-Kenyatta Avenue-Ambassador-Moi Service Lane-Railways-Kabiria-Dagoretti Market and Karen. This was after a route extension request dated January 13, 2020, by the Sacco. Kimathi also approved route extension requests by Safaris Company Limited and Latema Travellers Bus.
