A section of Thika Road was rendered impassable as students from Kenyatta University engaged in the second wave of protests in less than a week.
The students took to the streets in protest over loan delays barricading both sides of the busy highway, leaving the highway near the university impassable.
As a result, motorists were unable to use the overpass on their way to Thika, forcing them to seek alternative routes. It has since emerged that the protests stemmed from a disgruntled lot of students who were angered by the delays in the disbursement of the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) loans.
