Thousands of Students Stranded as Nationwide Crackdown Hits Public Transport During April Holidays

Thousands of students returning home for the April holiday have been stranded across the country due to a nationwide crackdown on public service vehicles, according to the Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK). This situation has led to increased bus fares and left many students without transport, with some drivers abandoning passengers mid-journey to evade roadblocks. MAK raised concerns about the safety of minors left unprotected and questioned the logic of enforcing regulations during this peak travel period.
