Nairobi, Kenya: Nairobi residents have to contend with traffic jams after the High Court declined to reverse the decision by the Nairobi county government to block certain roundabouts in a bid to decongest the city.

High Court Judge Weldon Korir, however, allowed Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko to pursue the matter without any interim orders, saying it raises weighty issues.
