Two huge trees in the Nairobi Central District (CBD) were uprooted on Tuesday evening at the Kenyatta Avenue and Moi Avenue intersection outside the Nairobi Sports House and Imenti House.
This has blocked the key entry and exit points following the heavy downpour experienced in Kenya’s capital yesterday.
In a video seen by WEaza, operations have remained paralyzed for the better part of Wednesday morning as pedestrians were being diverted to use alternative routes.
