Jogoo road in Nairobi’s Eastlands area was Wednesday a no-go zone as angry school children barricaded it to demonstrate after one of their own was knocked down by a bus on Tuesday. The over 1,020 students from St Anne’s Primary School in Mbotela took to the streets early morning Wednesday and blocked motorists.
In a strange twist, Martin Luganji, 27, who is a traffic marshal in the school, was also knocked down on Tuesday morning as he helped the children cross to the school entrance. He sustained minor injuries to the head and leg. During the demonstrations, a Standard Four student was also knocked down by a boda boda driver, but she was quickly rushed to hospital. This only added fuel to the fire.
