Public transport vehicle operators have demanded they be allowed to carry full capacity and the revocation of an order requiring monthly fumigation certificates. They said earnings have dwindled since social distancing measures were imposed last year to curb the spread of Covid-19. "We need to be allowed to carry full capacity with other protocols such as hand sanitisation and the wearing of face masks enforced," Kimutai said. Mukabanah said the matatu sector did not get a stimulus package and should therefore be allowed to fully operate. He said it would make no difference with Standard Gauge Railway where the trains carry full capacity.
