In the expansive Eastlands Nairobi; many youths depend on odd jobs to make ends meet.
The Matatu industry in Nairobi, comes in handy for this, however, there’s a sinister thing going on in Kayole Estate involving Forward Sacco matatus.
A Facebooker has accused the firm of sending innocent conductors /touts to prison using trumped-up charges.
Shockingly, most find themselves in prison without any booking done.
Can the Inspector General of Police, Hillary Mutyambai talk about this?
Most of the youths in kayole are unemployed and over the years many have made ends meet by getting into the matatus industry, forward travellers has been the major employer of many but recently they have been handing over many conductors to the police, who in turn for whatever reasons take them in without any cause of arrest and make sure you are locked up or even worse unajipata industrial area bila kuwa Hadi booked Kama prisoner. Hupitii Hadi mahakamani unajipata ndani bila kuhukumiwa maze. Maboy wa mtaa wako na familia za kufeed na hawaibi wanatokea kujitafutia na kuwazamisha is not the way to go. For most residents of kayole it’s has become common to witness a conductor being harassed to the extent of getting your uniform torn in broad daylight. Currently there are almost 10 of us in custody. Mtu bila crime ako ndani na wale wanawaeka hawachoki kuwatuma ndani. My question is it right for anyone to be arrested and jailed just because ni mnyonge. Hii stori tunaweza taka ifikie “media maze” mavijanaa wanateseka kayole maze na watu walichorea crime maze
