Published on September 6, 2019, a video clip has surfaced showing a city matatu driver being taught a lesson by angry passengers after he was caught driving under the influence of alcohol.

The driver, who was identified as working for Super Metro, was seen being slapped and kicked by the irate mob as they grilled him.

According to the tweep who shared the clip, Tyson Ronnie, the driver's attempts to explain himself and plead for mercy fell on deaf ears.

A woman who tried to stop the angry mob was overwhelmed and shoved aside as they taught the unidentified driver a lesson.

NTSA had previously summoned a driver and conductor of a Meru matatu that was filmed harassing a woman and her child for allegedly declining to squeeze on the seats to create space for excess passengers.
