Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui s decision in March to kick out matatu operators from the town could return to haunt him in 2022 when he will be seeking re-election, political analysts say.
At the time, the governor said he was taking measures to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the congested town, which has few exit routes, thus forcing motorists to endure painful traffic snarl-ups.
His decision is almost similar to that taken by his predecessor, Kinuthia Mbugua, who faced off with hawkers in his battle to clear the streets.
