Digital taxi drivers now want ride-hailing applications to set minimum commissions at 15 per cent for the Nairobi market.
This is in their latest push for better earnings, where they also want the commissions charged by the app companies pushed down to 10 per cent for operators in Nakuru and Mombasa.
Uber and Bolt take a minimum commission of 25 and 20 per cent respectively from drivers on their network. The drivers, under their lobby, Digital Transport Forum also want the app companies to define minimum wage per trip and service level agreement localised per Kenyan laws. Uber and Bolt still have their service level agreements in line with European laws,” said Digital Transport Forum Secretary-General Wycliffe Alutulala.

CONSIDERING that it is the foundation document of the United Kingdom, there is a vast amount of ignorance about Scotland’s Act of Union which brought about the Union on May 1, 1707. I seriously doubt if any more than, say, 2% of the Scottish population have read all of the Act of Union as passed by the Scottish Parliament on January 16, 1707, by 110 votes to 67. So today and next week I am devoting this column to that Scottish Act of treachery and self-interest. I am not writing about how the Act came about as I have written about that process before, but about the Act itself and what it means for those of us who believe in Scotland regaining its independence – not winning independence but taking it back, which is why my personal slogan is “regain the nation”.
