A major traffic snarl-up has built up on Magadi Road from Total Energies filling station, Ongata Rongai as motorists line up to fuel on Monday evening.

The reports that there is furl supply at the filling station have made motorist take their time to replenish their fuel tanks with the now precious commodity at least until normal supply resumes.

Vehicles lining up for fuel have caused a long traffic jam at that section of Magadi Road, affecting the traffic flow from Ongata Rongai town towards Kiserian.

Other motorists are also overlapping to get ahead but in the process blocking oncoming traffic.

There is a presence of traffic police who are trying to manage the traffic at that point.

Motorists are therefore advised to take caution while approaching that section of the road or use alternative routes to Kiserian.

Similar scenes have been witnessed across the country following the fuel crisis that has been going on over the past few days.

President Uhuru Kenyatta announced that the government has released Sh34 billion meant to cushion Kenyans from the high fuel prices and the end current shortage.
