Kenyans were enraged on Wednesday morning after it was announced that Lang'ata Road would be closed for a few hours to allow members of the Kenya Defence Forces to hold their annual games.
This move led to a major traffic snarl up along the surrounding roads with Kenyans taking to Twitter to express their anger.
Here are some of the reactions:
If you're going to town via Langata road and have not left the house. My friend just sleep
