The MoneyFest nganya recently made a significant impact in Eldoret, attracting attention with its flashy design and vibrant street presence.
This matatu, which primarily operates on the Ngong Road-Nairobi CBD route, is known for its distinctive yellow color, intricate airbrush art, and eye-catching lighting.
The theme of “MoneyFest” is represented through dollar-themed designs both inside and outside the bus, with 55-inch TV screens and powerful sound systems offering passengers a top-tier entertainment experience.
The matatu has become famous not only for its aesthetics but also for its controversial presence on Nairobi’s roads, where some operators have raised concerns about the privileges it seemingly enjoys.
It’s reportedly owned by the son of a high-ranking government official, which has sparked discussions about whether it receives special treatment from traffic authorities.
Despite this, MoneyFest has garnered massive popularity in the local matatu culture and is a contender for the Kenya One title—an award given to the best-decorated matatu in Kenya.
In addition to the vehicle’s fame, its driver, popularly known as Kabro, has built a reputation through his social media presence and skillful handling of various top-tier matatus in Nairobi, solidifying MoneyFest as a dominant player in Kenya’s matatu scene.
The recent visit to Eldoret created a buzz, reflecting the growing influence of this matatu in different regions, even outside its usual routes.
