Transport along Nairobi's busy Jogoo Road was paralysed for a significant part of Tuesday morning as traders staged protests over planned demolitions at Uhuru Market.
The enraged members of the public began their demonstrations at Uhuru Market, a few metres from Jogoo Road, before marching towards the busy highway. "Let us go to Jogoo Road and block the way so that they can listen to us," some of the traders shouted during the protests, before leading others onto the road.
Images and videos seen by Kenyans.co.ke showed agitated members of the public, mostly traders from the market, flocking in large numbers onto the highway.
