Winnie Odinga, a member of the East African Legislative Assembly, has criticised the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) for its new rules affecting Public Service Vehicles (PSVs).
In a message shared on her social media on Wednesday, May 28, Winnie stated that removing tinted windows for safety reasons makes sense, but banning graffiti on matatus goes too far and harms the matatu culture.
She urged NTSA to focus on educating matatu operators instead of removing their artwork from their vehicles. "Removing the tint is okay, but graffiti is part of the culture.
Stop bullying these kids; just take them to road safety training," she stated.
