Business was disrupted for much of the day as frustrated residents of Kapseret staged a demonstration along the Eldoret-Nakuru Highway, demanding justice for a boy who was struck by a speeding vehicle.

The protest was prompted by the tragic death of the 14-year-old boy who was hit on Thursday evening near the Southern Bypass, between Lobo Hotel and Cheplasgei in Eldoret City.
