KENYA, NAIROBI : ALL vehicles operating under Nazigi Sacco have been suspended for 14 days following a series of stripping incidents on their route. National Transport and Safety Authority said the traffic police boss has been instructed to impound any vehicle of the sacco found operating. Director general Francis Meja said the authority has received increasing reports of women being stripped naked by conductors and drivers over the last two weeks. Two crew members from Nazigi sacco were arrested on Thursday in connection with the attack of a female passenger. Nicholas Mwangi, a bus driver and a conductor, Meshack Mwangi, were charged yesterday. All 243 vehicles operating the Githurai-Nairobi route have been suspended and must present their vehicles to the authority for inspection within 14 days, Meja said. “We hope that these actions will serve as a warning to all PSVs operators and their employees that harassment of women and other passengers will not be tolerated by NTSA,” he said.
