Thursday, August 7, 2025 - The driver of ‘MOOD’, a flashy matatu associated with George Ruto, son of President William Ruto, has been caught on camera dishing out a routine bribe to a traffic police officer, a scene that has once again exposed the deep-rooted rot in Kenya’s public transport system.
In the widely circulated video, the President's son’s matatu
is seen slowing down before the driver casually hands over money to a
uniformed traffic officer, who then waves the vehicle through without
hesitation.
Cases of matatu drivers bribing traffic cops in the city are
common, with drivers often paying KSh 50 to KSh 100 daily to avoid
arrests, especially for traffic violations such as overloading,
overlapping, and operating without proper documentation.
Even the President's son’s matatu is not being spared.
Watch the video.
