Nairobi can easily implement an efficient mass rapid transit system including commuter trains leave alone BRT,as a matter of fact nairobi has an established commuter rail,we just need to refurbish it and procure DMUs.....but that is not happening,both county and national government are reluctant.....the big question is why....here is the thing...matatu industry is very tricky economics in nairobi...its a multi-billion industry generating massive income and revenue to many....nairobi county alone collects billions of shillings in revenue from the matatus on a daily basis....implement efficient public transport thats gone...i don't think sonko is willing to let go....secondly the sectors employs a lot of youth who would otherwise be unemployed....thousands of youths get their income daily from this industry..they have families and dependents....your average 14 seater driver earns about $200 daily....then you have the tout(makanga) earning about $150...remember this a 14 seater matatu..enter the big matatus and the wages increase....then there are those touts who hang around bus ranks/stages their job is to call on passengers,they earn about $0.5 per vehicle at the end of the day,they take home around $100.there are hundreds of them....you can see the economics,its an established industry supporting a lot of households..it does not end there,there are saccos organised by matatu owners,they very organised and efficient,through their daily returns from the matatus they have been able harmonise their returns and re-invent their revenues in utilities around the transport industries i.e petrol stations,lodges etc...they are very powerful and have morphed to some sort of cartel,rarely anything happens to the sector without their approval....so my friends as you can see,kenya is not a one man show...any projects being implemented in kenya has to be approved by all stakeholders,thats why public participation in any project is in our constitution.
