Cancelled Bus Licenses Paralyse Transport in Garissa

The affected companies are; Garissa Coach, E Coach, City to City and the Sabrin Bus Company.

The Sabrin Bus Company management has complained that they have lost millions of shillings after the cancellation of their license.

The company accused the government of diverting attention of fighting terror by frustrating their businesses.

The Sabrin Bus Company has been reportedly gone to court to seek a court injunction to compel the government from suspending their operations. Hundreds of travellers to various major towns in Northern region are stranded in the booking offices.

Receiving terror funding money

Some of travellers and businessmen voiced their displeasure over the move and asked the government to reconsider its stand since it was affecting their businesses and personal operations.

Last week, the government moved to starve local terror networks, after ordering the freezing of 86 bank accounts of individuals and institutions suspected to be funding terrorism activities in the country.

The accounts, according to intelligence reports, were being used to receive millions of shillings wired from foreign agencies that support activities of the Al Shabaab terror group…

The funds, according to initial investigations were also being used to finance the recruitment and radicalisation of youths from the Coast, Nairobi and North Eastern regions.

Mohamed Kuno popularly known as Gamadhere tops the list of persons whose bank accounts have been frozen.

Gamadhere is the prime suspect in the Thursday dawn terror attack at Garissa University College that claimed 142 lives…

The government has placed a sh. 20 million bounty on Gamadhere’s head.
