Gender CS Hannah Wendot Cheptum has ordered the National Transport and Safety Authority to withdraw the operating license of Mash Poa buses.
The demand comes after an incident where a female passenger was drugged on one of its buses.
Adelle Omondi, a passenger on the bus, reported the incident that allegedly happened on April 4.

According to her, she woke up at the Coast General Hospital after hours of being unconscious, only to find herself missing some of her items, including her underwear, raising suspicions of sexual abuse.
Adelle’s phone and cash were also missing.
She later learned that unauthorized transactions had been made from her M-Pesa account.
Following the incident, the CS maintained that the Ministry condemned the incident and ordered an immediate investigation to find the culprits.
The gender CS ordered the bus administration to provide official booking records, CCTV footage, and all required items to aid investigations.
The ministry’s intervention follows a wave of public anger sparked by Omondi’s harrowing experience, which many Kenyans shared on social media.
