Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has said that matatus have not been removed from the CBD.
While addressing court he said matatus can pick up passengers in the CBD but they will drop them at the green park terminus.
He said he has had meetings with sacco officials and they have all agreed to drop the passengers at the new terminus.
He said that’s to maintain order in the CBD adding that the saccos are happy with the new arrangement that was agreed upon by all parties.
Sakaja said once the passengers are dropped there are shuttles waiting to drop them at the CBD.
The judge wanted to know why drivers and conductors are being arrested even after she issued orders.
Sakaja said that was before the court issued the orders.
Justice Hedwig Ong’udi told the governor that the reason she called him was to find out if he can sit down with the 10 petitioners who are dissatisfied with his directions.
Sakaja has agreed to meet the petitioners to discuss on the way forward that will benefit all parties.
The judge thanked the governor for finding time in his busy schedule to join the court.
She said she wanted him specifically so that he could deal with the matter considering it’s coming at a time when most Kenyans will be traveling for the festivities.
The case will be mentioned on December 19
