Sonko said he would make up to Ksh 400,000 per day from his 10 matatus that plied the Buru Buru route.
“I used to have matatus, I’m the one who started installing big screens in matatus. I was making up to Ksh 20,000 a shift. One matatu would give me Ksh 40,000 a day and I had 10 matatus,” Sonko said.
