Am wondering whether it will actualize. I don't need to take any chance, and i will wake up early to commute to work. What is your take?

Thanks God it has failed. It is the most irrational, unreasonable strike, ever called in my life time.

Am still in the blanket and still entangle by way of love, so the strike has flopped?

looks like business as usual, atleast in Embakasi sides za pipeline

Problems can get out of proportion, and not only in the wee small hours. Don't let the problems eclipse the Master. Let the Master eclipse the problems.

I just passed along route 46 and things are actually paralysed. Police deployed to stop fracas.

Matatus are there but there are few people at the bus stops.

I hope the strike succeeds.Hata sisi watu wa prombox tutasaidika mafuta ikiteremka.

The strike doesnt stand a chance if the situation around tells. Matatus choking town as usual. There were few fellows at bus stops alright but it could be many have gone holidaying or were scared by Atwoli.

Matatu strike called off after the govt agrees to address workers’ concerns. Taskforce to be formed in 7 days.

From the response this post is receiving.. I have a feeling that most wazuans seldom use matatu transport, work from home or walk to work. My thinking.

I said it before and I repeat once again. This strike would fail from start coz of wrong timing...xmas is here, the busiest time the Ma'3s cash in. most workers are on holiday and travelling is very flexible. Jan is around the corner and all those touts/drivers/owners need cash for school fees, mats never strike coz of fuel hikes, infact a 5 bob hike in fuel makes them raise transport by 10 bob, to me they benefit from this.
i.am.back!!!!
