Driver refunds students fare after Ministry of Education directive
A matatu driver plying the Nairobi-Meru route refunded fare for students who were stranded after Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu abruptly directed that schools would not reopen on Monday, April 29, as earlier communicated.
The students had travelled from Meru to Nairobi unaware that the CS had issued a midnight directive announcing the extension of opening dates to May 6.
After the students reached Nairobi to connect to their various schools, they were informed of the Ministry of Education directive.
With the students having no fare to go back to Meru, the Matatu driver belonging to Meru Deluxe Shuttle Sacco decided to refund their fares.
He further directed the students where to get a bus to return to their homes.
