KENYA: Remember the businesswoman (Agnes Macharia) whose matatu was burnt to shell by Cord supporters during the highly-charged anti-IEBC protests on June 6? She'll be getting a new matatu courtesy of well-wishers and Jubilee MPs on Friday, July 1.

The business lady from Kayole estate, will receive the bus at her home, after a vernacular radio personality and Kenyans raised money to enable her invest back into her business.

“I would like to express my gratitude to the people who have stood with me and especially radio presenter Njogu Njoroge who helped do a fundraiser on radio and I hope he will be able to present me with the key personally.” said Agnes.

The good news comes even as Agnes and Prime City Transporters Sacco moved to court to sue Cord principals Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula.

Agnes is asking the court to hold the trio responsible and pay for compensation for losses incurred during the protests and sought an order stopping Cord principals from holding further demonstrations.
