Naboka Sacco matatus continue to operate recklessly along the Gataka–Nairobi route, carrying excess passengers and endangering lives, despite a fatal accident last year that claimed the lives of several students.
In May 2024, a tragic accident involving a Naboka Sacco bus occurred near the Cooperative University in Karen, Nairobi, resulting in the deaths of at least eight people.
The bus, en route from Gataka to Nairobi, lost control and plunged into the Mbagathi River.
Eyewitnesses reported that the vehicle was carrying excess passengers at the time of the accident.
Witnesses at the time reported that the vehicle was overloaded, raising questions about the Sacco’s adherence to road safety regulations.
Recent reports indicate that Naboka Sacco vehicles are operating dangerously, with overloading and speeding being common.
Frequent commuters on the route have also expressed frustration over the continued lawlessness of these matatus, noting that traffic police officers stationed along the road often take bribes instead of enforcing safety regulations.
Officers routinely stop overloaded matatus, only to let them proceed after collecting money from drivers and conductors.
Naboka Sacco is not the only offender. Matatus from Luminous Sacco and Lankana Sacco have also been observed carrying excess passengers, ignoring traffic rules, and speeding dangerously.
In some cases, 14-seater matatus have been found carrying up to 19 people, squeezing in passengers beyond capacity, including the driver and conductor.
Sources who commute along this route daily have assured that they will continue monitoring the reckless operations of these matatus, documenting violations, and exposing those who endanger passengers lives.

Hi Cyprian. Hide my ID. There's this guy who works for KAA at Terminal 1C JKIA. A very corrupt man who asks for money and bargains with travellers at the entry in case they need his assistance. He is so inhumane, unkind and he harasses the needy travelers when they don't meet his fulfillment amount of corruption. Those willing to accept and pay the money he directs them to his number. Kindly expose him and tag EACC, KAA, DCI and other relevant authorities. Let's say NO AND FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION. Thanks.

The situation at Pyramid Packaging in Eldoret continues to deteriorate, with workers speaking out against worsening conditions at the manufacturing facility.
While previous reports exposed long working hours, precarious contracts, and lack of basic benefits, workers are now raising serious concerns about the deteriorating hygiene standards, which they say pose a serious health risk.
Workers have shared troubling images and videos of the toilets at the facility, revealing a shocking lack of cleanliness.
The lack of basic cleaning supplies, including detergents, has led to concerns that the facility could become a breeding ground for diseases.
With approximately 200 workers at the facility, most of whom are on unstable contracts, the pressure to maintain high productivity has come at a major cost to their well-being.
Now, the deteriorating hygiene conditions have pushed employees to demand immediate action.
They are calling for intervention from labour authorities, urging them to address the unsafe working environment that is putting their health at risk.
"Hi Cyprian. Hide my ID. Also I'm from Pyramid. Working conditions here in Pyramid are getting worse; even hygiene is very poor. There are no detergents in the toilet and we may even get diseases.

Kindly share that video, hide my ID please."
