There was a major traffic snarl-up along Jogoo Road for a better part of the morning of Sunday, January 19, as irate residents occupied the busy road in protest.
Images and videos obtained by Kenyans.co.ke show tens of residents, mostly women, lying on the road near the Mbotela Estate, effectively barring cars from using the busy route.
The irate residents lay mattresses in the middle of the road and occupied them to show their discontent as other area residents surrounded them, presumably as a show of support.
Police, who showed up at the scene on Sunday morning, could only watch since the protests, despite traffic disruption, were largely peaceful.
