Kawangware residents protested the dilapidated state of roads in their area on Wednesday morning.

The irate protestors barricaded a section of Gitanga Road with stones and lit bonfires using old tyres that affected traffic along the road.

The group of protestors included residents and boda boda operators from the area.

It took the intervention of the police to control the situation and remove the barricades.

The road leading to Kawangware “46 mwisho” from Amboseli is ridden with potholes that slow down traffic along the road.

They appealed to the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) management to help in repairing the road.

The protest caused a traffic snarl-up since vehicles could not go through and motorists had to find alternative means to access their destinations.
