In his address, the president allowed all public transport to resume carrying full capacity, provided they followed the SOPs, which include ensuring wearing of masks for both the passengers and the drier, having full vaccination cards and sanitizing.
However, there has been confusion on some roads today, when police officials were arresting taxi drivers for carryin full capacity, as this was yet to be allowed by the president. Passengers were seen being told to board off several taxis, as the drivers scuffled with the confused afandes.
Among other things, the police officers were also seen arresting passengers who had no vaccination cards, stating that these are subjected to fines, as earlier stated in the president's address on the 31st of last month.
