Lifting of the Ban
Shortly after the ban was put up and customers started seeking other transportation services, the company rescinded the ban. They issued a statement mentioning that the ban was initiated after customers filed complaints mentioning the poorly packed fish products. They complained of the fish contaminating their accompanied luggage hence necessitating the ban.
Additionally, the statement mentions that the company has lifted the ban. Allowing for the transportation of fish products provided they are well packaged and would not interfere with other people’s luggage.
The ban instated by Easy Coach riled up Kenyans with many claiming that the ban would lead to a loss in customers until they lift it.
