Several passengers and motorists were on Monday night left stranded after they were barred from entering Nairobi county. The passengers and motorists were denied entry to the Capital at the Athi Bridge on Kangundo road, which is the border for Nairobi and Machakos counties. The move comes after President Uhuru Kenyatta declared the cessation of movement in and out of Nairobi, Kilifi, Kwale and Mombasa counties for 21 days. The cessation of movement starts in Nairobi Monday at 7pm, while that of the other counties will begin from Wednesday. Uhuru said a majority of people who have contracted the disease are Nairobi residents, Kilifi, Kwale and Mombasa counties.
