Nairobi's Ngong Road experienced severe traffic disruptions on Friday, August 29, 2025, as protesting matatu operators blocked both sides of the road near Prestige Plaza. The protest was triggered by operators' complaints of ongoing harassment by the police, demanding a meeting with senior officials from the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and the police.

• The protest on Ngong Road caused severe traffic jams, forcing pedestrians to walk, and drivers were advised to use alternative routes such as Argwings Kodhek or Riara Road.
• The incident follows a similar transport disruption in Nyeri town on August 25, 2025, where PSV drivers and business owners protested their relocation to the new Field Marshal Muthoni Kirima bus terminus.
• In Nyeri, operations stopped as early as 6 am, with vehicles parked across the town's three main bus parks, and at least three matatu owners reported their vehicles were damaged during the protest.
