Naivasha, Kenya: Over 1,000 farmers blocked the busy Nairobi-Nakuru highway for over four hours to protest the Sh13 billion Kinangop Wind power project.

Transport and business at Fly-Over trading center along the busy highway were completely paralysed amid futile effort by KDF officers to open the highway.
