President William Ruto has trademarked the popular phrase “mambo ni matatu”.
According to documents from the Kenya Industrial Property Institute (KIPI), the trademark application was filed by lawyer Adrian Kamotho.
KIPI is mandated to administer industrial property rights under the Industrial Property and Trade Marks Acts in Kenya.
This means, that anyone intending to use the phrase in its original form or alterations such as “Mambo ni 3” or “mambo ni mangapi” + three human fingers, must seek President Ruto’s permission.
