Matatu Saccos in Kenya

Matatu Saccos in Kenya – Overview

Matatu Saccos in Kenya: To bring sanity to public transport, matatu and bus operators had to organize themselves into cooperatives (SACCOS) or companies for ease of management and enforcement of discipline. The transport sector in Kenya plays a crucial role in economic development.

Matatu sector provides air, water and on land transport services to the Kenyan population hence contributing over 10.8% to the Gross Domestic Product. The sector as well provides a large number of employment opportunities from local and international investors.

It was mandatory for all those seeking a Transport Licensing Board (TLB) certification to be members of a Matatu Saccos in Kenya or belong to a company. About 1,000 matatu Saccos and 400 companies have been registered. Matatu operators, who constitute 80 percent of the public transport system, are estimated to have an annual turnover of Kshs73 billion.

To its credit, the Matatu sector buys Kshs 4 billion insurance premiums every year and remits Kshs 1 billion taxes annually. The Matatu Saccos have played a significant role in the growth of public transport and some have now become respected brands in the sector. The Saccos proved to be the most viable way to manage large public transport fleets.

They have also been pioneers in changing the image of public transport, which was dominated by rogue drivers and touts without regard for traffic rules. With the expected phasing out of the 14-seater vans, cooperative societies are poised to play an even bigger role in supporting the government’s initiative.

Errant matatu saccos told to forget court’s protection

Updated On:2nd/02/2017
Source:www.standardmedia.co.ke

High Court Judge George Odunga warned matatu owners against joining saccos that are poorly managed, saying they would suffer when collective punishment is meted out by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).

He said: “The owners of PSVs (public service vehicles) must be vigilant in their choice of saccos and should only opt for those that are properly and efficiently managed otherwise they risk losing business and income as a result of joining poorly managed saccos.”

Last year, Rengcom Communications Ltd sued NTSA after the authority suspended its 69 buses from night travel.

And yesterday, Justice Odunga said SACCOs were established so that they can inculcate discipline on the road.

The judge said: “Those SACCOs which are unable to control members within their stable and their members’ drivers are put on notice that unless they rein in errant members and their employees, all their members are bound to suffer with the result that the compliant members will move to those saccos that are properly organised.”

Odunga said courts would not be a haven for PSV operators who do not comply with the law and are out to maximise profits at the expense of the lives, limbs and property of travellers.

In the case, the matatu sacco complained that it was unfair to have a blanket punishment meted on its entire fleet on account of one causing an accident. NTSA never responded to the case.

“Whereas collective punishment is generally frowned upon by the law, recklessness by PSV owners may well dis-entitle PSV operators from favourable exercise of the court’s discretionary remedy of judicial review orders where such conduct is found to be grossly contumelious (abusive and humiliating),” he said.

The judge criticised the police, saying they were equally to blame as they “look the other way when traffic rules are being violated with impunity”.

“In arriving at my decision, I appreciate that strict measures ought to be taken to curb unnecessary loss of property, limb and life on our roads arising from rampant disregard of traffic rules,” he said.

He added: “It is important to keep in mind the rationale behind the requirement that public service vehicle operators do so under registered societies. In my view that was meant to inculcate discipline on our roads.”

splits: 10What is Ghostface Killah’s net worth?Ghostface Killah is an American rapper, producer and actor who has a net worth of $10 million. Ghostface Killah is most famous for being a member of the prolific rap group, the Wu-Tang Clan. He has also had a successful solo career with albums such as “Ironman,” “Supreme Clientele,” and “Fishscale.” Ghostface Killah is widely renowned for his fast-paced flow and complex, emotional lyrics.Early Life and Wu-Tang ClanGhostface Killah, whose real name is Dennis Coles, was born in 1970 on Staten Island in New York City. As a youth, he went to junior high with future fellow Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon. Later, Coles became the roommate of Wu-Tang founder RZA, and helped to bring together the other seven members of the group: GZA, Method Man, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Raekwon, U-God, Masta Killa, and Inspectah Deck. After signing to the label Loud Records in 1992, the group released its debut album, “Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers),” which is widely considered to be one of the best hip hop albums of all time. A second album, “Wu-Tang Forever,” came out in 1997; debuting at number one on the Billboard 200, it went on to receive a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap Album.Later albums by Wu-Tang Clan include “The W,” “Iron Flag,” “8 Diagrams,” and “A Better Tomorrow.” None of these, however, were able to match the success and popularity of the group’s first two albums. In 2015, Wu-Tang Clan released a single copy of “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin,” which was bought for $2 million by hedge fund felon Martin Shkreli. Following Shkreli’s conviction for securities fraud, the album was seized by the US government and sold to an undisclosed buyer. Following this, in 2017, Wu-Tang released the album “The Saga Continues,” which features all the original members of the group save for U-God. It also includes guest appearances from such artists as Sean Price, Redman, and Streetlife.Solo CareerIn 1995, Ghostface was featured heavily on the album “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…,” the solo debut of fellow Clan member Raekwon. He also contributed songs to the soundtracks for the films “Sunset Park” and “Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.” Like other members of Wu-Tang Clan, Ghostface launched his solo career around this time, debuting his first solo LP, “Ironman,” in 1996. Exhibiting a distinctive soul influence, the album peaked at number two on the Billboard 200. In 2000, Ghostface released his second solo studio album, entitled “Supreme Clientele,” which reached number seven on the Billboard 200. Among its singles were “Cherchez La Ghost” and “Apollo Kids,” the latter of which featured Raekwon. Only a year after “Supreme Clientele,” Ghostface released the R&B-influenced “Bulletproof Wallets,” which spawned the singles “Never Be the Same Again” and “Ghost Showers.”After signing with Def Jam Records in 2003, Ghostface released his fourth solo album, “The Pretty Toney Album.” It featured collaborations with Missy Elliott and Jadakiss, among others, and launched the singles “Tush” and “Run.” Following this, Ghostface released “Fishscale,” which hit number four on the Billboard 200 and number two on the R&B charts. It spawned the hit singles “Back Like That” and “Be Easy.” Later solo albums by Ghostface have included “The Big Doe Rehab,” “Ghostdini: Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City,” “Apollo Kids,” “Twelve Reasons to Die,” “36 Seasons,” and “Ghostface Killahs.”Other ProjectsAmong his other musical projects, Ghostface released the album “718” with the group Theodore Unit. In 2005, he and Theodore Unit’s Trife Da God released a joint project called “Put it on the Line.” The next year, Ghostface collaborated with underground artist MF DOOM on the album “Swift & Changeable,” which is still yet to be released. Later, in 2008, Ghostface appeared on eight songs on Raekwon’s album “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Pt. II.” Shortly after this, he worked with Raekwon and Method Man on the 2010 album “Wu-Massacre.”Ghostface’s other credits include the collaborative album “Wu Block,” which he produced with D-Block member Sheek Louch, and “Sour Soul,” an album by Canadian jazz group BADBADNOTGOOD. In 2019, along with the hip hop supergroup Czarface, he put out the album “Czarface Meets Ghostface.”Film and TV AppearancesOn screen, Ghostface has made many cameo appearances. He first showed up in the 1998 crime drama “Belly,” starring rappers DMX and Nas. Next, he appeared in “Black and White,” starring Robert Downey Jr. and featuring multiple other members of Wu-Tang Clan. Ghostface later made appearances as himself in the films “Hunter Dawson,” “Fade to Black,” “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story,” and “Iron Man.”In regard to television, Ghostface appeared as himself in episodes of the sitcom “30 Rock” and the sketch comedy series “Human Giant.” He also lent his voice to the animated sitcom “The Boondocks,” and participated in the VH1 reality programs “Mob Wives” and “Couples Therapy.” On the latter, he appeared with his girlfriend Kelsey Nykole. In 2018, Ghostface showed up on the Netflix Marvel series “Luke Cage.”Personal LifeLike his fellow Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon, Ghostface practices the Islamic faith.
