Tuesday, July 22, 2025 - A flashy matatu linked to President William Ruto’s son, George Ruto, is once again under public scrutiny for flouting traffic laws.
The matatu dubbed “Money Fest,” and which
is famous for its loud music, flashy LED lights, and eye-catching
graffiti, was captured on video being driven recklessly on the wrong side of
the road, posing a serious danger to other motorists and pedestrians.
In the viral footage, the multi-million shilling vehicle can
be seen speeding against traffic in an apparent attempt to beat congestion, an
illegal maneuver that has left many Kenyans outraged.
“This is how accidents happen. If it were an ordinary
matatu, NTSA would have acted by now,” one social media user commented.
This is not the first time Money Fest has
made headlines.
Back in January, the same matatu was impounded after another
video surfaced showing the driver violating traffic rules.
The driver was arrested and later released, fueling public
concern over possible preferential treatment.
The latest incident has reignited debate about impunity on
Kenyan roads, with many questioning whether those connected to the country’s
political elite are subject to the same laws as everyone else.
