Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale criticizes Governor Johnson Sakaja over chaotic city traffic, urging him to address the congestion, which he believes poses security risks.
Khalwale emphasizes the need for immediate action to clean up the congestion, involving matatus and boda bodas in the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD).
Previous attempts to regulate traffic in the CBD, led by both Sakaja and former Governor Mike Sonko, faced challenges, with Sonko lifting a matatu ban in 2018 due to public outcry and traffic disruptions.
Despite subsequent efforts by Sakaja in 2022, the court halted a directive targeting long-distance matatus, maintaining the current situation. The opening of the Nairobi Expressway in July 2022 has not significantly alleviated CBD traffic.
