Meanwhile, most major Nairobi roads are under renovations; thus causing traffic jams in various parts of the city.
For the better part of Monday morning, Mombasa Road users were stuck in traffic after a crane that was fixing parts of the road broke down on site.
KeNHA has issued a statement apologizing over the inconvenience and promised to ensure normal traffic flow resumes soonest possible.
