For the fourth straight day, residents of Kasarani on Thursday morning experienced traffic disruption following ongoing protests over poor roads in the area. As has been the case since the beginning of the week, commuters who use the Kasarani-Mwiki route were unable to find public transport to the respective places of work. This even after the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (Kura) on Wednesday blamed the poor state of roads in Nairobi on the long rains that have been pounding the city. While responding to a tweep who had sought to inquire why the Kasarani-Mwiki road was dilapidated Kura said they have engaged with the public representatives from Kasarani and agreed to commence the works. The only thing that was spotted along the road were stones and burned tyres which have been used to block the road.
