Kenya suspended a nationwide public transport strike for seven days on May 19, a day after four people were killed in protests across the country. The pause allows the government and transport operators to negotiate a resolution to fuel price hikes. For investors, the unrest threatens supply chain stability as fuel costs drive up the price of basic goods.
