For five years now, James Njoroge, 35, has been operating an online taxi business in Nairobi. In his view, he is one of the few lucky taxi drivers who had managed to settle their car loans before Covid-19 was hit the country. This is according to Abdul Mohammed, chairman of Online Taxi Drivers of Kenya. Mohammed says that business among taxi drivers has been plummeting since the government put in place restrictions to curb the Covid-19 spread. The chairman notes that the digital taxi business is extremely unprofitable in the wake of Covid-19.
