The youths blocked traffic on Ngong road, lit bonfires and pelted motorists with stones. They claimed this is the third time the recruitment has been postponed, amid suspicions that calling letters had already been dispatched to the kin of senior City Hall officials. Mr Amiso said he had last year applied to join the City Traffic Marshal brigade and was part of shortlisted applicants who were subjected to a 10km run, but they were never employed.
