Nairobi's Southern Bypass experienced significant traffic disruption on Saturday morning after suspected goons blocked sections of the highway and attacked motorists, reportedly ahead of a political rally in Kikuyu. The alleged inaction left citizens to defend themselves against gangs who reportedly blocked roads and attacked motorists for about two hours. Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused the National Police Service of arriving late and "pretending to act" during the chaos. Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has strongly condemned the surge in political violence and the use of hired gangs, demanding decisive judicial action to deter perpetrators. Police have since reopened the road and restored order.
