The infamous Nairobi traffic has seemingly caught up with its own governor, Evans Kidero.

Kidero took to his social media pages to share his plight as he walked to Kempinski in Westlands to launch the International Water Congress and exhibition. The traffic was so bad that the good governor decided to take a hike...literally.

In his posts, the governor is seen walking along Waiyaki Way flanked by his entourage.

Today I got stuck in traffic and had to walk to my meeting at the Kempinski hotel in Westlands from the CBD to officially launch the 18th (AFWA) International Water Congress and exhibition,scheduled to take place at the KICC from February 22nd -26th 2016.

I will ensure that the new raft of traffic measures launched last week by CS Transport and Infrastructure Eng. Michael Kamau and myself takes effect immediately to reduce traffic and congestion in Nairobi.

I think I lost a couple of kilos today!

The internet was on fire after this post with some calling it a publicity stunt.

What do you think, will the Kidero walk get us less congested roads?
