The drivers parked their trucks across the road, making it difficult for other motorists to use the highway. This means that I will be paying Sh27, 000 every day to Machakos yet I only make Sh5, 500 per trip,” said Mr Mutua. Another truck owner Mr Alfred Gikandi said the protests would go on until Governor Mutua reviews the rates.
