A matatu named “Money Fest,” reportedly owned by George Ruto, son of Kenya’s President William Ruto, has been causing concern in Nairobi. This public service vehicle has been observed breaking several traffic laws, most notably driving backwards on roundabouts.
A matatu reportedly owned by George Ruto, the president’s son, has been seen driving backwards on roundabouts in Nairobi. This dangerous behavior confuses other drivers and could cause accidents. Roundabouts are meant to keep traffic moving smoothly.
The matatu does not show a SACCO name, which is required by law. It’s also not registered with Nairobi City County, another legal requirement. These issues make it hard to hold the vehicle accountable.
Witnesses say the driver often speeds, changes lanes suddenly, and ignores pedestrians. This reckless driving puts many people at risk.
Despite these problems, traffic police haven’t taken action. The matatu keeps operating without consequences.
When people connected to powerful figures break traffic rules, it sets a bad example. It suggests some individuals don’t have to follow the law, which harms public trust.
Following traffic rules is important for everyone’s safety. All drivers, regardless of their connections, should obey these rules to keep roads safe.
