Matatu operators disrupted traffic on Kasarani-Mwiki Road on Monday, January 13, 2020, as part of a strike protesting deteriorating road conditions in the area.
Commuters faced significant challenges navigating the 5-kilometer stretch to Thika Road during heavy rainfall, with many forced to walk through flooded sections of the route.
The strike involved roadblockades using stones and burning tires at the Sunton junction, effectively closing the corridor to all vehicles, including private cars.
Protesters called for immediate infrastructure repairs, citing the hazardous state of the road network as a key concern.
