Traffic snarl up along the Nakuru-Nairobi Highway after Matatu operators blocked the road at Rironi to protest a road-block citing extortion by police officers. Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i was caught up in public protests over a roadblock along the Nakuru-Nairobi highway today. Matatu operators, Limuru business community and members of public blocked the road to protest a roadblock erected at Rironi which had a fortnight ago been moved further to Lari. Matiang'i, who was travelling to Nyandurua, found a massive snarl-up from Rironi to Kamandura area prompting him to address the gathering. The Rironi roadblock that was re-erected on June 12 at around 6 pm has particularly angered the residents.
