Commuters between Kasarani and Nairobi CBD have been forced to walk to and from Roysambu as demonstrators block the Kasarani-Mwiki road to protest against its poor state. Rowdy youths have baricaded the road by overturning a trailer, burning tyres and placing heavy blocks across the road.
As a result, matatus plying the route are forced to drop off and pick pasengers at either Roysambu or Naivas Supermarket Kasarani. Motorbike bodaboda operators are making a kill as stranded passengers opt to make use of the motorbikes at the mercy of the rowdy youths.
The area OCPD for Kasarani, Augustine Nthumbi, is reported to be on the scene.
