I still want to state that as the Assistant Minister, I am not aware of any pending strike due to police harassment. However, I am aware from the Press that matatu might be going on strike due to the cost of fuel. As far as I know,, this information has come from the matatu Welfare Association, who I know do not own matatus. There is Matatu Welfare Association and Matatu Owners Association. These are the people who own the matatus and buy fuel."

Shebesh had asked, the recommendations of the taskforce are being implemented. We are trying to work on some of them at the moment."
