Welcome to Nganya Twitter Community.
Nganya Twitter is a vibrant online community that celebrates Kenya's unique matatu culture. 'Nganya' is a Sheng term for a souped-up matatu, heavily customized with intricate graffiti, powerful sound systems, and flashy lights.
The Nganya Twitter community uses the platform to share photos and videos of these artistic vehicles, creating a digital space where enthusiasts can appreciate the creativity and craftsmanship of matatu artists and owners.
The community serves as a cultural hub, highlighting matatus not just as a mode of transport but as a form of mobile art and self-expression. Through hashtags like #Nganya and #MatatuCulture, users share the latest designs, discuss popular routes, and celebrate the personalities of the drivers and touts (conductors) who are central to the culture.
This online space helps to preserve and promote an important aspect of Kenyan urban life, connecting people with a shared passion for these iconic vehicles.
SAD ROAD ACCIDENT!!! VIEWERS DISCRETION!!!
WALE WATU WA MATUSI KUJENI HAPA!
Tonight, while driving along the Thika Road Superhighway towards the CBD, I came across a heartbreaking accident where a young man had been hit by a moving bus just a few metres away from a footbridge.
I immediately called for an ambulance to respond and help rescue him, although he was already in a very critical condition. I also alerted traffic officers to help control the situation, manage traffic, and support the evacuation process.
This incident is a painful reminder of why I have continued to urge pedestrians to use footbridges and designated crossing points. A few days ago, I warned people against risking their lives by crossing busy roads illegally. Those who were found violating the law were given an alternative responsibility of collecting litter as a lesson to encourage them to follow safety rules and protect their own lives.
Unfortunately, some people chose to criticize and label such efforts as โcontent creationโ or โclout chasing.โ But tonight, the reality is clear road safety is not about popularity, it is about saving lives.
To those who said people should be allowed to cross roads anywhere without following the law, I ask: where are you tonight when a young man is fighting for his life after being knocked down?
Let this be a wake-up call to all of us. Use footbridges, obey traffic rules, and value your life. No journey is worth losing a life over.

CFAO Mobility Kenya has some of the best Market Research Analysts we have in the country.
โThey recognized a high potential market opportunity to disrupt and scale within the informal Matatu sector and the commercial logistics industry (Trucking).
Part 1: The Matatu Card. ๐
In 2021 Toyota by CFAO Mobility Kenya made an announcement that surprised many and had a huge impact on the Matatu Industry. This announcement had some car dealers in the gray market ( dealers in foreign used vehicles) saying that the move would not see the light of day.
Toyota by CFAO Mobility Kenya dropped the price of the Toyota Hiace H200 Commuter van to Ksh.4.51 Million. A price tag equivalent to that of an 8 year old foreign used (Mtumba) H200 Commuter van.
How did they do this?
Before 2021, fully built imported Hiace vans (FBUs) were slapped with steep import duties that inflated showroom prices.
In June of 2021, CFAO Mobility officially
commissioned their first dedicated local assembly
line for the Hiace H200 at the Associated Vehicle
Assemblers (AVA) plant in Mombasa. The reasoning behind this is move was to take advantage of
government granting zero-rated import duties and
excise tax exemptions on Completely Knocked
Down (CKD) kits.
CFAO immediately passed these
huge tax savings onto buyers, lowering brand-new
unit costs equivalent to the price of 8-year-old second-hand (mtumba) imports.
By last year, (2025), annual sales of the Hiace
climbed drastically to 1,176 units, a 65.1% increase
from 712 units in 2024
To keep up with this massive demand from mainly matatus, school transport, and others, CFAO Mobility launched an additional KES 2.3 billion production line for the Hiace at the Kenya
Vehicle Manufacturers (KVM) plant in Thika in
June 2026.
Today over 90% of Toyota Hiace Commuter Vans bought for Matatu use are brand new (Zero mileage).
Stay tuned for Part 2: The Truck Card...
