NAIROBI, KENYA: President Uhuru Kenyatta has lifted the ban on the importation of 14-seater matatus plying long distance routes for the safety of passengers.

"After wide consultations and research involving my government and stakeholders, it has become clear that a blanket ban on the 14-seater Public Service Vehicles for long distances and rural transport may not be appropriate at this time," he said.
