The High Court has issued orders barring the move to ban matatus from Western, Nyanza, and Rift Valley from the Central Business District (CBD) and moving them to Green Park Terminus.
The move was initially set to commence on Thursday, December 1 following a directive from Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja.
The governor said that the action will lessen traffic in the Central Business District when he met with Saccos and other transportation stakeholders on Friday, November 18, 2022, at Charter Hall.

“All PSV SACCOs and PSV companies offering services between Nyanza, Western, North Rift, South Rift, and Central Rift who are currently operating from Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) will be relocated to the Green Park Terminus in the first phase,” read part of the notice.
The operators argued in their appeal that the rule would put them at risk of significant losses and annoy passengers who traveled with large bags, particularly during the holiday season.
Blue Line, Team Swat, North Rift Luxury Shuttle, Madaraka Prestige, Transline, Great Rift Shuttle, Legacy Luxury, Kina 2015 Classic, Sasaline Classic Shuttle, and Transliner Galaxy were some of the organizations who signed the petition.
