    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that there are some matatus from Eastlands still sneaking into the CBD. However, the City Council has noticed this anomaly and has informed a senior traffic police officer to take responsibility as required by the law. The City Council has also instructed its enforcement officers to intercept and impound any matatu from Eastlands found in the CBD looking for business. For example, 174 and 90 matatus were impounded in the months of August and September respectively. In October, we impounded 870 matatus that had sneaked into the CBD. (b) No, I am not aware. (c) The Ministry has directed the City Council of Nairobi to ensure that all matatu operators in Nairobi drop and pick passengers at the designated areas, so that none is disadvantaged. Matatu operators from Eastlands should pick and drop passengers at Muthurwa Bus Stage. The Westlands operators should drop and pick passengers at the Old Nation House Roundabout. Dagoretti matatus should drop and pick passengers at the Railway Station. Thika Road matatu operators should drop and pick passengers at the Globe Cinema Roundabout."
