Matatu culture has grown offensive and increasingly lawless, and as the court ruled against matatus bearing graffiti, President Ruto refuses to honour the rulings of the court
Ruto has directed NTSA to suspend its crackdown on graffiti-covered matatus, halting enforcement of rules on artistic modifications and tints pending further review and stakeholder talks.
Jalang’o will fund an appeal after court upheld NTSA’s ban on matatu graffiti and tinted windows, raising debate over preserving nganya culture versus enforcing road safety rules.
An investigation claims to have identified the anonymous artist behind widely recognised stencil murals across the world, though questions remain over the true identity.
