The recent mushrooming of matatu stages along Tom Mboya Street has raised eyebrows with questions on whether cartels are back in running the Central Business District. In the last seven months, Tom Mboya street all the way from Afya Centre to Koja stage has been converted to a matatu parking area as they drop and pick passengers. A roundup by the Star on Thursday revealed that the congestion starts around 3pm, with matatus overcrowding along the road in an attempt to get commuters back home. Behind the Kenya Archives building facing Tom Mboya street, matatus plying Waiyaki way have taken over. Across the road, matatus from Eastleigh, Juja, Thika and some plying Jogoo road heading towards Donholm have also taken over the roadside.
