A strike planned by motorists over impending rise in fuel prices flopped on Wednesday as matatu owners withdrew their support, citing losses to their business.

Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK), a lobby which champions interests of private vehicle owners, had said earlier in the week its 20,000 members will park cars on major roads across the country for three hours between 7:30am and 10:30am.
