Transport was on Thursday, July 3, temporarily paralysed along the Kisumu-Kakamega highway after rowdy youth lit bonfires in an attempt to block opposition politicians from accessing the region.
Videos and images seen by Kenyans.co.ke showed young men setting tyres on fire along the highway, forcing motorists to seek alternative routes.
However, the area police officers quickly intervened and dispersed the youth before clearing the road.
The incident occurred as the opposition politicians, led by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, former Interior CS Fred Matiang'i and Wiper party's Kalonzo Musyoka were on their way to Kakamega County.
