A tour of various parts of the city shows roads are in pathetic conditions. Residents and matatu operators say criminal gangs have been attacking matatus stuck on the roads and stealing from commuters. Matatu operators say they have been forced hike fares to compensate for the lost time on the road. Mwiki residents on April 19 were left stranded after matatu operators went on strike over the poor state of roads. The matatu operators and residents say the contractor making the Mwiki-kasarani road was taking too long to complete the five kilometer stretch.
