Traffic was severely disrupted on Monday along the busy Waiyaki Way, which links Nairobi to the Rift Valley, Western and Nyanza regions, after police erected roadblocks at Kangemi and Westlands.

Motorists were barred from accessing the Nairobi city centre in a move that left thousands of commuters stranded on their way to work.
