Passionate about informal transport in Kenya, Matatu. Organizing transport workers in Kenya into Unions locally and globally.

Nairobi needs to shift from trying to solve every mobility challenge with flyovers, wider roads, and elevated highways to investing in fast and reliable public transport.

@citizentvkenya #JKLive Cry our beloved goonish country Kenya, ask Karakacha of MOA what justification was there for electric buses in Nairobi to increase fares whereas the electric bus sector should have come to salvage the situation for passengers?

[Joe Karobia @bonche2]

@citizentvkenya @KoinangeJeff #JKLIVE I'm proud of the Jerichonians duo Patrice and Muluka and let me remind them that Jericho still remains united irrespective of our native tribes. Our tribe is Sheng I don't know how they perfected their English, lakini tuko kadi Jeri!

Just seen a shooting star in Nairobi.

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

Several months back, Museveni’s brutal son posted that, "......Besigye will only leave prison in two ways. Either in his coffin after we hang him or shoot him or on his knees apologising to Mzee [Museveni]."

Yesterday, Dr. Besigye and his colleague Hajj Obeid Lutale's fourth bail application was denied! Cry beloved country. The judiciary, like all other institutions, has been completely emasculated. We have an opportunity to press the RESET BUTTON on our country in 16 days and put an end to this suffering.

1. The bus isn't stuck in traffic.

2. There isn't room for bike Lanes, but bikes are welcome.

Win win.

At what point in life did he realize he could do this? 😹😹😹

[Mwalimu Amunga @PeterKAmunga]

An employer has been ordered to pay Kshs. 169,953.95 for years of underpaying her house help.The employer paid her an average monthly salary of Kshs. 6,000 instead of the minimum wage of 10,954.70.

Minimum wage is NOT a suggestion.
Domestic workers deserve dignity and the court just reminded employers.

Residents who suffer in silence should be well represented in the negotiations for us to have a safe intergrated road transport, pedestrians included.

[Joe Karobia @bonche2]

Passengers are suffering in Nairobi when commuting to and from work. I saw pax standing for over 2 hours at a matatu terminus not knowing when the next bus would come by. @KURAroads @InteriorKE @MOH_Kenya @TransportKE @WilliamsRuto let's engage and organize #OurPublicTransport

[Joe Karobia @bonche2]

In 54 seconds as seen in the video clip, matatus that move masses hardly moved a distance of 20 meters. Who collects data from matatu terminus to check on the number of passengers who board matatus during peak hours?

[Joe Karobia @bonche2]

@KenMuokatene @SokoAnalyst It was!

[Joe Karobia @bonche2]

@SokoAnalyst But Leaky was to later become a beneficiary of that land at the national park.

@ITFglobalunion May his soul rest in peace!

@ConstantCap That's quite cool for the driver.
