By JOHN NGIRACHUMore by this AuthorTaxi-hailing app company Uber was on Tuesday told to increase its fares or face regulations. The taxi-hailing application has shaken up the market and is now being accused of killing other companies and oppressing drivers by keeping its fares low. “Only a few Kenyans can afford to take an Uber if we take it back to Sh60,” said Ms Maherali. Ms Kagure Wamunyu, head of Uber in Kenya, said a reduction in fares last year, just a day before the entry of competitor, Little Cabs, was to encourage more people to take taxis. The committee will meet the Kenya Revenue Authority to get information on how much taxi-hailing app firms pay in tax.
