PROVEN: A matatu strike CANNOT last more than six hours!
REASON: Everyone lives hand-to-mouth... drivers, conductors cannot survive without their daily salaries, stage manambas [managers?] cannot survive without their daily fees, vehicles owners cannot pay off loans without daily income, the cops cannot survive without daily bribes..... so, it is in everybody's interest that the vehicles get back to work!!!
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
