Matatus that have been dropping off and picking up passengers at the Railways terminus will now be relocated to pave way for the Nairobi Railway Project.

The project aims to redevelop Kenya Railways land to ease congestion in the city and boost economic growth. "We have reached a 100 per cent agreement with the matatus.

They are ready for the relocation, and we are finalising our commitment.

Initially, there were teething problems, but after several consultations, they agreed to comply," Kenya Railways Managing Director Phillip Mainga said on Tuesday during an update on the project.
