Traders operating along Kasarani-Mwiki road have incurred huge losses following a four-day matatu strike. Matatu crews protested against the pathetic state of the road, paralysing public transport from Monday to Thursday. But matatu operators said the protest was worth the trouble because the government at last acted and released money to repair the road. Motorists said they had incurred huge losses in repairing their vehicles and wasted so much time in traffic jams. Sakaja said they struck a deal with matatu operators to resume operations as the authority moves to fix the dilapidated two-kilometre stretch.
