This is after Nairobi Senator Mike Mbuvi moved to court and obtained the orders pending the hearing of a petition filed by Kenya Taxi Cabs Association.
On Wednesday this week, matatu and taxi operators went on strike to protest against increase in parking fees, a move that witnessed near paralysis in the city’s public transport system. The strike forced many Kenyans to walk to work.
According to the new seasonal tickets, private salon cars will have to part with 5000 Shillings while buses will pay 8000 Shillings to operate at designated terminals.
But the operators appear to have found temporal reprieve from high court judge Isack Lenaola after the Kenya Taxi Cabs Association got orders stopping the Nairobi county government from levying new rates.
Nairobi senator Mike Mbuvi was also enjoined in the suit as an interested party.
Mbuvi condemned the high levies and asked the Nairobi county government to lower parking fees for private vehicles which is now at 300 Shillings per vehicle.
