Defiant e-taxi drivers’ vehicles vandalized amid nationwide pay protest

NAIROBI, Kenya July 15 – A section of Public Service Vehicle (PSV) drivers in the ride-hailing taxi service industry on Monday faced severe consequences for defying calls to join an industrial action.

Their striking colleagues damaged and destroyed their vehicles.

Drivers from services like Uber, Bolt, Faras, and other e-taxi applications began a nationwide strike on Monday, protesting against poor pay and demanding better working conditions.

In Nairobi, those who chose to defy the strike directive found their tyres deflated, and some had their tires completely removed, rendering their vehicles inoperable and causing significant financial losses.
