Oloolua Ward residents in Kajiado North Constituency have decried the poor condition of Oloolua road which has slowed down activities in the centre.
They demonstrated along the road to express their displeasure, using all manner of stuff from tree stumps to banana trunks which they planted on the road to blockade it.
The protesters set up barricades to draw attention to the road’s impassable state and its impact on local business and social amenities like schools.
They accused the national and Kajiado county governments of laxity and negligence.

School children have been affected by the poor state of the roads as their buses are not able to access all points to pick them, while those who walk to school face a lot of difficulties.
Ruth Wanjiru said they elected leaders to fix the roads but they have failed to fulfill their promises.
She said the elected leaders must act to ensure the road is fixed or they be sent home in 2027.
The protestors have vowed to maintain the protests weekly until assurances of road repairs are given, calling upon the leaders to address the issue as soon as possible.
