Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has launched the Mobility Enforcement Unit (MEU) to address traffic congestion and regulate street activities in the city’s Central Business District (CBD).
“It will centralise the regulation of public road transport, motorcycle operations (boda bodas and tuk-tuks), traffic management, and parking,” Sakaja stated.
The MEU comprises four specialized teams: the Public Transport Unit (PTU), Traffic Marshal Unit (TMU), Motorcycle Transport Unit (MTU), and County Parking Unit (CPU).
These units will collaboratively regulate matatus, boda bodas, tuk-tuks, and parking, aiming to streamline transport operations and enhance traffic flow.
“The Public Transport Unit will be responsible for regulating matatus and other public service vehicles to ensure compliance with traffic laws, while the Traffic Marshal Unit will be tasked with managing traffic flow and addressing congestion hotspots,” Sakaja explained.
The initiative will deploy 360 enforcement officers to bolster its operations, with no extra financial burden on residents.
Governor Sakaja expressed confidence that the MEU will bring order and efficiency to Nairobi’s streets.
