President Uhuru’s Support For Graffiti On Matatus Flashed Down The Drain With Crackdown On Pimped Up Matatus
Your favorite classy matatu which has crazy graffiti and music systems that produce music louder than nightclubs may be a thing of the past if NTSA directive sees the light of the day.
The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) issued a directive to ban offensive graffiti and videos shown in matatus.
The crackdown comes three months after President Uhuru publicly said he supported graffiti on matatus since it created employment during the launch of cashless Matatu fares last year.
NTSA wants matatus to remove offensive artwork, modified horns, noisy exhaust pipes and colors that are not on the vehicle’s logbooks.
The transport regulatory body says they have received complaints from commuters, hospitals, schools etc about loud music played and offensive videos shown in matatus.
The directive to have graffit removed from mathrees was supposed to be implemented starting today, Monday 25th January.
