The nationwide matatu strike continued into its second day on Tuesday, causing ongoing transport disruptions across Kenya as operators protested high fuel prices. The action, called by the Transport Sector Alliance, left many commuters stranded and affected businesses and schools. The strike followed EPRA's monthly review that raised super petrol and diesel prices sharply, pushing Nairobi pump prices to Ksh.214.25 and Ksh.242.92 per litre respectively, while kerosene stayed at Ksh.152.78. On Monday, protests turned violent in several towns, with burning tyres and blocked roads. Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen reported four deaths, over 30 injuries, and 148 arrests, blaming rogue politicians for orchestrating looting and arson. The government attributed the price surge to global factors linked to the Iran conflict. Treasury CS John Mbadi acknowledged limited room for concessions but confirmed planned talks with matatu operators. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki said President William Ruto had directed him and four other CSs to meet stakeholders to resolve the crisis. Former Chief Justice David Maraga called on Parliament to approve tax relief on fuel. Meanwhile, EPRA revised pump prices effective midnight Monday, lowering diesel by Ksh.10.06 per litre, raising kerosene by Ksh.38.60, and leaving super petrol unchanged, setting new rates at Ksh.214.25, Ksh.232.86, and Ksh.191.38 respectively through June 14.
