The Nakuru County government is set to lose over Sh17 million in monthly revenue from matatus that operate in close proximity of the town centre.
This after High Court Judge Teresia Matheka on Tuesday temporarily halted the government from collecting of Sh2,000 from 8,600 public service vehicles following a suit filed in December 15 last year by the Central Rift PSV Transporters Cooperative Society Limited on behalf of 84 Saccos.
“Pending the hearing and determination of the application inter parte hearing, a conservatory order is hereby issued barring the respondent, its agents or person acting under its authority from demanding from the petitioners fees for seasonal tickets,” read Justice Matheka’s orders.
