Nairobi MCAs Initiate Investigation into the Rapid Increase of Illegal PSV Termini in Upper Savannah Ward

By Shadrack Nyakoe

Nairobi Members of County Assembly drawn from the transport committee have commenced an inquiry into the illegal PSV termini in Upper Savannah Ward.

The area ward representative, Stazo Omung’ala who doubles up as the deputy majority whip at the Nairobi Assembly said the illegal PSV termini at Caltex Petrol Station and Naivas Supermarket are a public nuisance.

Stazo stated that most motorists plying the Outering Road are undergoing undue suffering due to blockage of the Road by Public Service Vehicles who have created illegal bus termini at Caltex Petrol Station and Naivas Supermarket in Donhlom.

The illegal termini have resulted to unnecessary traffic congestion in the area, he said.

This, he said , is a violation of the provisions of Section 27of the Nairobi City County Transport Act, 2020 on use of designated picking and dropping areas for public service vehicles.
