On a different note, do the matatus own the title deed to Naivasha Road and Kawangware? Where are the traffic police? You're saying the lady who told us how double M came about died? This then will indicate how family businesses fail when the originators dies and no clear succession plan is in place.

How does this work? Suppose I board a Karen hopper but alight at Dago, will I be charged Kes. 70 or Kes. 40 (since they charge 70 to Karen and 40 bob to Dago paying Wanjiku style yaani cash-cash)  Portfolio: Sold
