Nairobi’s Globe Roundabout should be a holding ground for matatus to decongest the CBD, a transport lobby has told court. The National Confederation Matatu Transporters told Justice James Makau it is exploring an out-of-court settlement with City Hall, and has submitted its proposals and consultations are underway. Businessman Paul Kobia and the confederation challenged Governor Mike Sonko’s ban on matatus in downtown in court last year. The NCMT says the roundabout should be improved to accommodate many vehicles. It wants double parking stopped and underused lanes repaired and used by town service vehicles only.
