Taxi drivers in Nairobi, Kenya, will Monday go on strike to push for implementation of better pricing by the dominant app companies, which they say have continued to ignore terms of a deal entered in July 2018.
According to the taxi drivers, US-based Uber and Estonian software firm Taxify have refused to negotiate in good faith with the drivers’ representatives regarding the various changes they have been making without proper consultations.
