Several popular 'nganya' matatus in Nairobi have been impounded amid a recent crackdown and a ban on their entry into the Central Business District (CBD), leaving commuters stranded.
Nganyas - heavily customised public transport vehicles - are famous for their extravagant modifications, such as intricate graffiti art, vibrant colours, large screens, and loud, powerful sound systems.
The operation, reportedly spearheaded by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), has caused a public outcry, leaving many city commuters stranded during peak hours.
Nganyas are a key mode of transport on several Nairobi routes.
