Some of the matatus that had forced their way to Nakuru Main Stage on November 18, 2020. [Harun Wathari, Standard]The Nakuru County government is set to lose over Sh17 million in monthly revenue from matatus that operate in close proximity of the town centre. The county was given seven days to file its response and the hearing for the application set for January 23. Notwithstanding the relocation, the court documents state, the county has started demanding the seasonal fees yet the matatus are no longer operating in town. The petitioners accuse the county of “forcefully and oppressively” confiscating the vehicles of operators who refuse to pay the fees.
