BACK IN OPERATION: Embassava buses have been allowed to resume operations.
The National Transport and Safety Authority has lifted the suspension of Embassava Sacco matatus.
The authority and the Sacco’s officials held a day-long meeting that ended with the lifting of the ban, reports Nairobi news.The Sacco was suspended last week after one of its matatu was involved in an accident along Jogoo road that killed one passenger.
Residents in Embakasi, Pipeline, Donholm and Fedha estates where the Sacco operates had to contend with hiked fares and lack of enough matatus during the period of the ban.

The Matatu Welfare Association has also called off its strike planned for Wednesday after what officials termed as a successful meeting with Transport Principal Secretary John Mosonik. “Our issues will be sorted out and we will be at work as usual,” said association Chairman Dickson Mbugua.
The association had announced the planned strike last week to protest the ban on Embassava Sacco. Mr Mbugua said that imposition of a blanket ban on an entire Sacco when one vehicle commits an offence is unfair and should be scrapped.
