Thousands of passengers travelling between Nairobi and the western parts of the country have been stranded for the better part of two days due to worsening traffic congestion on the Nairobi-Nakuru and Nairobi-Narok highways.
The two highways, which are among the busiest in the country, have seen traffic come to a standstill, inconveniencing long-distance bus companies, public service vehicles, and private motorists.
The gridlock has come at a particularly difficult time for many families, as thousands of parents prepare to send their children back to school.
Transporters warned that unless urgent measures are taken, the delays could disrupt travel plans for learners and other passengers.
