Some 16,935 matatus belonging to
several saccos in Nairobi have not paid
for parking, an audit shows.
The system audit carried out last
week by the Department of Parking
Service Management revealed that
29,059 matatus access the CBD daily.
The electronic payment system run
by JamboPay also showed that only
12,124 matatus have paid for parking.
Head of parking service management
Tom Tinega said City Hall will crack down
on all matatus that have not paid.
More than 30 matatus and taxis were
impounded on Wednesday last week for
presenting fake receipts for parking.
The impounded matatus were registered
under Embassava, Kilgoris, Killeton
and Trans-safaris saccos.
“We went to the bank and realised
there was no money. They had presented
fake banking slips,” Tinega said.
On Tuesday last week, county secretary
Robert Ayisi said saccos whose
members fake parking receipts will be
banned from operating in the city.
