- Governor Mandago was forced to personally control traffic in Eldoret town as his car was caught up in the traffic jam
- There were no traffic officers on the road to control the jam
For more than an hour, Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago was forced to control traffic in Eldoret town which is the Uasin Gishu County headquarters. The governor was caught up in traffic after his officers tried in vain to open traffic for him.
The angry county boss alighted from his car and personally took charge of controlling the traffic jam at the Iten road- Highlands road junction as there were no traffic officers on the road at the time to help free the road.
The governor was even involved in arguments with matatu operators and other drivers who were openly going against traffic regulations thus worsening the situation.
The Governor has received praise from netizens as they appreciate his hand-on approach to dealing with traffic congestion:
