Nairobi on Standstill! No Buses, Closed Shops, Empty Roads & Fuel Strike

Added: 2026-05-19

[00:00:00]Even media people are just around trying to assess the situation police vehicles.

[00:00:09]Guys, you can also see the progress of this uh fire duct. This is the situation in Nairobi here in Nairobi.

[00:00:25]This is the current absent emptiness.

[00:00:29]There is Kimi Kimi on the other side.

[00:00:39]Open 24 hours. Only the tuk tuks operating around this area, but I'm sure the prizes.

[00:00:45]And look, the shops on this side lost.

[00:00:52]Shifting news and >> also see hotel mall >> shift classic direct express. We have crane coach.

[00:01:06]You can imagine the losses to the whole economy.

[00:01:11]Oh look here they constructed a new building on the left. It will take you to eastern bypass lane. See it is uh the go road.

[00:01:22]Then you right now it's 29 minutes past 9 in these park around this place.

[00:01:41]That's it outing road.

[00:01:49]This is normally referred to as Guru stage though and we had was it Chris who said this 3 minutes to 10 in the morning still along Jag road and uh can we say this is Nairobi's fuel crisis though it cuts across the country. So today we are having a harmonious walk of police cars.

[00:02:21]1 2 3 4 five and look.

[00:02:47]So this is uh spine road during normal days that those vehicles that operate to is sleep about that is Kobangi you'll always see them here but today this is the situation. So good morning good afternoon good evening depending on where you're watching us from.

[00:03:10]And uh we just want to do a tour right now.

[00:03:16]Let us see what's the time.

[00:03:20]It's 13 minutes past 9 on the 18th of uh May.

[00:03:31]To all our returning supporters, we say thank you. Thank you for always being here. Thank you for supporting us.

[00:03:38]So we don't know is today a carfree day you know fuel cost has brought this uh situation so today it's on a Monday and here you would find you can see people are waiting for vehicles here it is always full for vehicles was fairing passengers to the CBD, but today it's empty.

[00:04:15]Look, it's Monday and we also have these uh shops closed.

[00:04:24]It seems uh this uh road is under construction on this side within Umoia.

[00:04:33]So this is the situation around this uh B center.

[00:04:37]So currently not the time today we want to try and see what's happening on our roads.

[00:04:44]Are people walking to town?

[00:04:49]uh we having uh alternative uh transport. So to all those who are joining us for the first time, join this amazing family. Subscribe, hit the notification bell to receive all notifications once we upload a new video.

[00:05:08]This is along Mana Road. So we'll be updating you on some key major places.

[00:05:20]So this is always another key uh stages here in Eastland when you're heading towards Ky they call this Zumo junction because when we arrive here we'll be going I know see some still waiting remember the road we did from Minda all the way it comes to this kifaro the one being renovated.

[00:05:48]You can see people are walking. So right now it's uh 20 minutes past 9 and uh as you said we'll be updating on the major key points and see even some stores along this uh area they are closed.

[00:06:14]Even the road itself not that busy. Can see private vehicles and even motorbikes.

[00:06:23]Was this was the strike cutting across all the motorist or it was only public service vehicles?

[00:06:36]Fuel crisis here in Kenya. And remember this is Manza road. If you're watching us, thank you. Thank you for the support. You can send a word of encouragement to all our Kenyan people.

[00:06:53]And uh these are some of the reasons why lots of you are saying we need wider pedestrian walkways because you see the way the economy is moving.

[00:07:08]Most people always prefer to walk.

[00:07:18]So sometimes people always say the challenge is we have increased living costs, fuel costs but in terms of uh income it is either reduced or still the same. So you have to find a way of survival. That's why you realize that most people would prefer to walk.

[00:07:59]Waste management still a key concern with our environments.

[00:08:06]Sometimes we place this uh burden to the government. You also forget that you are the also part and parcel of this where we do the inappropriate dumping. Let's hope uh as citizens we can also have good ways of ensuring that we dispose our dirt that in the best way. Remember this is a shifting wheels. We are walking here along this manza road. We are checking the situation. You can see motorbikes are already this one is electric. This is haram circle estate.

[00:08:59]So keep tuned.

[00:09:01]We'll be updating you on major stopovers along this route.

[00:09:14]Right now it's 29 minutes past 9 in the morning.

[00:09:20]This one is one of the major junctions or major connections along this Mayan road because it diverts traffic to Umoa or those vehicles coming from Umoja they always join Manza road at this point because that is Moy Drive then this is Manza road and in most cases you'll always realize that this place is always busy very busy but today it is how it looks and I just talked to a friend of mine tells me he was lucky to board a vehicle early in the morning.

[00:10:00]But now uh the place he use says uh 60 Kenyan shillings that is 0 let's say 0.5 of a dollar.

[00:10:14]today heads to use 160 Kenyan shillings to the CBD.

[00:10:21]So that is how the situation is.

[00:10:26]So look, we have lots of people enjoying the sidewalks.

[00:10:31]In most cases when there is traffic along this road, you find motorbikes using the sidewalks. But today it's people. It's carfree day.

[00:10:41]But not actually on voluntary basis. But uh due to escalation in fuel prices and uh motor vehicle owners or the association they're saying it is hurting their business and also when kerosene the price is maintained.

[00:11:06]They're complaining it might hurt them more cuz it could result into adulterated fuel which may cause havoc to their engines.

[00:11:23]So what do you think is there a solution and in terms of uh circulation of money for those who are in Kenya let us know how is the circulation of money and when you compare this to the infrastructure status I'm sure there is uh some connectivity to it and also So it is related to the global scenes the what is happening globally.

[00:11:59]So but uh maybe we wait for the expert analysis and also the government intervention to cool the situation.

[00:12:12]We are now nearing or we are just in Don. You can see on the left it will take you to eastern bypass lane. See it is uh the go road then you can see up there Nairobi city 9 km and even right now crossing crossing is and easy.

[00:12:36]So if let's let's also you may help us calculate the number of kilometers we may have covered once we come at the end of this video.

[00:12:50]can see right now is 34 minutes past 9.

[00:12:55]Uh if we we approximate an average of either 2 m/s if my walking speed is almost 2 m/s or could it be because that's let's see 1 2 3 1 two I think I'm walking almost uh three to four steps so that could be 2 m per second and don't home you can see how greenery it is and we have a police vehicle on the other side so in case of anything but I think they are moving so you can see don is green the green sceneries of Don.

[00:13:56]See they tried some fencing around this place but uh waste management still lucky concern.

[00:14:07]This place is always a busy place right now.

[00:14:18]It seems like a forgotten place.

[00:14:21]So, let's Hey, we have motorbikes on the road.

[00:14:27]And this place may so green. And uh that one is one of the symbols or key structures when you come to Don. I think it was a water tower.

[00:14:43]Not sure if it's already or is still in use. But this is uh the D home green spaces.

[00:14:55]So let's walk in the median and just see no vehicles here. This is not the normal situation because you'll find vehicles pile here.

[00:15:16]But now look only a few bodies in the D area I think.

[00:15:32]And let's check this uh outering road the situation how clean it is.

[00:15:45]That's it.

[00:15:48]Outer ring road.

[00:15:53]Not much congested.

[00:15:56]So this is the current situation along with some area. Now let's see. Oh, that's a public amat spreading some passengers.

[00:16:12]So let's check the situation on the road. Keep tun keep posted.

[00:16:19]Keep subscribing. Someone said some of the public lands when you leave them like that they now become a place where you see this place if they just trim the grass well it becomes good grounds for relaxation situation on J road.

[00:16:45]Today the bikes bicycles are getting more monumental especially for those who did purchase the tambation is with their borders. You see like those ones they have to negotiate and they're boarding three passengers. We have now four people. Four people, the driver and 3 million passengers.

[00:17:16]We still in Donome area now officially joining Jgo Road. And here we cross to this side.

[00:17:27]Remember this is the place where we have intersection of uh three is it in intersection number they divide three railway lines that is one the one in the middle goes to Hakasi village via pipeline then the one on the far left goes to SDR via Maradima Then this one that goes through this tunnel.

[00:18:02]This one we are seeing here goes through Dora to this is normally referred to as stage.

[00:18:15]Though it's not always that busy.

[00:18:22]It's not always busy, but you see nobody's waiting. Only the motorbikes waiting to get someone.

[00:18:48]That is uh Rabai road headed into Burubu Estate and uh from afar even the petrol station there are no vehicles that are fueling.

[00:19:07]You can see have lots of people walking.

[00:19:11]Just check on this stretch even on the side those who are coming back to this side. But you can we can bet that most of these people are headed towards Nairobi CBD along this uh Joo road.

[00:19:34]How is the situation on your side? Let's hope you watch this video today and maybe when you watch another day, how was the situation within Kenya? And also you can let us know if you're watching us from US, from the UK, from Middle East, from Sweden, from Finland and other regions where we have our supporters. Let us know how was or how is the situation the fuel are you still are you also experiencing the same like how it is in this side this is the hamza and you can see we have the jam rescue you know back then when I was a a small kid when listening to uh radio announcements would listen and uh most of the time there could be mentions of uh jump rescue, jump rescue. Back then it always used to be a trend.

[00:20:46]Nowadays there are more other places that have come up in uh different areas regions and this is the ham stage.

[00:21:05]Today you either decide to pay 200 Kenyan shings to CBD using the motor bike or you decide to walk.

[00:21:16]So no people around this place.

[00:21:21]So this is the current situation along this uh Hamza and you can see the Hamza Plaza or apartments on this side. I remember there is a day we were doing a live and we had was it Chris who said this apartment seems to have a bend.

[00:21:52]So this is the Hamza area.

[00:21:55]So let's see if we successfully get our vehicle. We'll let you know. But the time currently 51 minutes past 9 or 9 minutes to 10:00 a.m.

[00:22:16]I've seen that public bus. Fortunately, I was less to record that negotiations for those who want to board motorbike.

[00:22:34]This is called the Moa stage just opposite this Macadara railway station.

[00:22:42]Here it's always a pickup point for passengers headed towards town and those headed towards Kyola pipeline Moa Joska Kangundo road. But you can see vehicles are even parked in the petrol station also on this side. So this is the official stage. You always find people waiting to board vehicles at around this place. But look today most of the vehicles are purely packed at the petrol station most of them.

[00:23:23]So as you walk, let me update you on the time.

[00:23:30]Remaining 3 minutes to 10 in the morning.

[00:23:37]Good exercise, right?

[00:23:41]So I hope you'll also be able to calculate the kilometers we cover. And uh we're not sure maybe in the evening we'll also have to do this.

[00:23:56]Unless the strike will have been called off. So not sure we maybe we just wait.

[00:24:04]Have nice apartments here.

[00:24:09]So they have done I believe these are private walkway. Yeah.

[00:24:17]the investor decided to make sure that uh their property is well taken care of. I don't think this is uh Kura who placed these dubbers at this point or could it be Kura or uh the investors for these eastern apartments.

[00:24:48]We are still walking along this jagoro and for sure you can still have lots of people walking only that you cannot zoom the furthest end.

[00:25:07]So welcome to a uh right now it's 4 minutes past uh 10 in the morning. This place you'll find a mix of vehicles, lots of people waiting to board to go to Nairobi security. But today, even right now, you can easily cross or even go in the middle of the road.

[00:25:38]Oh, I should have asked the police car.

[00:25:44]I b so loc is on the other side and this is a foot bridge. So we were saying I relax now the moment you can comfortably even uh go in the median of the road but anyway that is risky. Do not risk your life. Just make sure that uh even when the situation forces you to just walk in the middle of the road, kindly remember anything can happen because that's a road and a vehicle can emanate from anywhere.

[00:26:28]So this is the Uchumi area along this JO road. Then we have Uhuru market ahead there still along Jagor road and uh can you say this is Nairobi's fuel crisis though it cuts across the country I'm sure also in other parts of the country we still vehicles.

[00:27:10]And could this be also a reason why people call upon wider pedestrian walkways to accommodate and even safer? No port holes.

[00:27:24]Well done to ensure the safety of the walking machine.

[00:27:35]I've seen a number of public vehicles I think those ones very passenger and that's everything and at this post >> along the road and you can see nobody only have motorbikes waiting to fry passengers but >> for the rest of the community. People are just comfortably walking. Look, the time right now is 10 minutes past 10 in the morning. So, in your estimation, when do you think maybe before you before you rush to the end of the video, when do you think this video will come to an end?

[00:28:23]And also I hope you also help us to calculate uh in terms of kilometers taking an average of 2 m/s.

[00:28:38]On average, on average, 2 m per second.

[00:28:53]Can see no vehicles queuing.

[00:28:56]The fuel price diesel is 242.9 and petrol is 214.2.

[00:29:07]And right now we are nearing the stage commonly referred to as church army church army stage. Actually church army is school is on the opposite side.

[00:29:24]So they always refer to this page army.

[00:29:29]And this is the the place you can come and board vehicles to easily. Taking the Muhammad Yu road into deep into Isl maybe you are coming from Ambassador road or these areas of pipeline and uh you need somewhere to connect.

[00:29:57]These are the vehicles.

[00:29:59]So right now going to sleep is 40 Kon ships. That's roughly 0.3 of a dollar.

[00:30:05]So you can see lots of vehicles here. Even we don't have lots of passengers to board the vehicles.

[00:30:17]So Muhammad used to fight road. It's just after the roundabout and it sets you into Isley area 15 minutes past 10 in the morning. How do you approximate the speed or how do you see that walking speed?

[00:30:46]You know sometimes you can be surprised about the kilometers but you realize that that is common to many people for many Kenyans especially those living in Nairobi because you find most of them they'll always try to at least have some savings that's why on a daily basis you'll find them walking to their workplaces people coming from Kayola headed to the industrial area. We have people coming from Kangi headed to the town area. They do track, they do walk.

[00:31:24]So this area received some updates some time back and I hope you saw there is a day there was a strike and we did a live stream along this route Jagor Road.

[00:31:48]So after that is this tells you that Kenya So dynamic Nairobi is growing. You can still have stores that is the area.

[00:32:21]And when you go to the left side of this uh road this will take you to the police station. I think there are some renovations going on on that side.

[00:32:36]So keep tuning, keep posted as we continue trying to check the situation on this road.

[00:32:48]I believe this is uh Hey, see the shops are closed. United Energy to go road when they are when it's not operating.

[00:33:03]Is this the Maza stage? Yeah, I believe this is the Maza stage. Maza is a word in English means milk. You can see tuk tuks. So sometimes when you're headed towards town, you'll always find geckos making a stop around this area to f passengers to the CBD.

[00:33:26]So today you can only see tuk tuks and I'm sure the price could be different.

[00:33:31]right now it could be even 80 Kenyan shillings to the CBD.

[00:33:40]I see the dynamics of infrastructure on our roads waste management. We are hoping that there will be a change in these renovations to make sure we don't have much of these assos because Nairobi is developing. my is growing and uh it faces the the dynamic challenges that I've faced with several cities across the world in terms of drainage in terms of infrastructure in terms of pedestrian safety.

[00:34:27]Oh, what's the time?

[00:34:30]21 minutes past 10 in the morning.

[00:34:57]So I believe there is a stage here but most of the time vehicles will come to make ahead.

[00:35:07]So they generally this place as that is.

[00:35:17]So we are in California area along road.

[00:35:31]So that that side is shy. So around this place is uh kaleni.

[00:35:38]Then ahead we have uh so keep tuned.

[00:35:51]It's always a a rare a rare case, a rare event to find this city stadium area less congested like how it looks on this particular day.

[00:36:13]>> This could be marking the best way You can just come to do some walks around Nairobi where you don't fear the traffic and just move around here. We always have the 14 seat matis fing people to stadium in South B.

[00:36:34]But today can see only the motorbikes.

[00:36:40]And we are here at uh city stadium 27 minutes past 10 in the morning.

[00:36:53]So this is the current situation along this stretch of city stadium stage where generally you would not find it in this situation. Remember to like the video, subscribe, hit the notification bell to receive all notifications once we upload a new video to the country bus.

[00:37:19]Right now it's a bit calm.

[00:37:23]Right now it's uh 22 minutes to 11 in the morning.

[00:37:31]So most of the buses are purely purely packed. This is the country bus. You can see Maria Mo climax mara kiss classic express. We have green coach tell here right now.

[00:37:56]No passengers headed towards the different destinations.

[00:38:02]You can see we have on this side we have a lot of ahead of us. We have I tell you this is the current situation.

[00:38:21]You can see even now they're trying to do some improvements on that again.

[00:38:28]Then you have also green line this side.

[00:38:36]So this is the current situation even when doing the country bus.

[00:38:44]Look at this route. It is like uh most of the days it's always full. right now.

[00:38:51]See how it is all the way to become Kamunji and looks the shop around this Kamukuni area. Most of them closed. So maybe the question could be ah now you can imagine the losses to the whole economy.

[00:39:16]Oh, look here. They constructed a new building within this uh Kunji area.

[00:39:26]Yeah.

[00:39:28]Look on the side.

[00:39:31]Yeah. Right now, most shops, do we say most or nearly all of them, they're closed. Look at these ones.

[00:39:40]Even constructions not going on.

[00:39:44]Look at the shops here.

[00:39:46]I tell you Kamukunji police station on this side.

[00:39:56]This is the at the OTC. So this area is always full of kay. We have forward travelers can car topmost metro tours that operate along this route in OTC.

[00:40:15]But right now, see how clean and on a Monday remember that's why we are saying this is always a rare case to find such a situation in Nairobi.

[00:40:32]Right now it's 17 as you can see. 17 minutes to 11 in the morning.

[00:40:45]Not sure when we'll be completing this tour but uh we are checking the situation. So we came from the B center area. It was around 15 minutes or a quart 9 in the morning.

[00:41:01]Right now we are here at OTC in Nairobi.

[00:41:08]See we have police officers there in the waiting just in case.

[00:41:17]Let's see the situation also at the stage.

[00:41:22]Wow. Can see where most shops are closed and you realize The economy is hurting. Somehow the fuel crisis has brought about the closure of shops.

[00:41:43]No vehicles operating.

[00:41:49]Even the streets on this side empty.

[00:41:52]Look on this side here. You'll always find the vehicles.

[00:41:58]Even the quick match is closed.

[00:42:03]Yet today it is always open 24 hours.

[00:42:06]Only the tuk tuks operating around this area. But I'm sure the prizes and look the shops on this side closed and also see the side of OTC hotel mall.

[00:42:23]Most of it closed. So let's see at the stage of this seat if their vehicle is sparing passengers or what's happening along this area.

[00:42:37]But today I'm telling you it's like you can walk in the median of the road without any look very clean.

[00:42:46]No vehicles where I tell you this is at OTC St. This has even vehicles to Yamu not there geckos operating this route around this place they're not there this is the situation in Nairobi let us know what's the situation or how was the situation in your area even vehicles like not as busy when I just parked and you can see not lots of people around this area. So today we are along this stretch I tell you. So today is that day. So, let's also have a glimpse of uh River Road if it's clear or we have lots of vehicles.

[00:44:02]But from the look of things, this is the current situation along this stretch of river here in Nairobi.

[00:44:20]River Road is as clean as possible. So, we may not go all the way to the other side. Right now, it's 50 minutes or 10 minutes to 11 in the morning.

[00:44:34]See the clear streets?

[00:44:41]Have you ever seen Ronald Ningala as clean as this way with no vehicles?

[00:44:59]Yeah.

[00:45:14]and shops are already closed. So now the economy is fully fully fully hurting because today there is no circulation of money in the economy.

[00:45:32]This is Ronald Lingala street.

[00:45:35]You'll always find it very busy busy busy busy busy. But I look at it today.

[00:45:43]Only empty.

[00:45:54]So Nairobi is in this situation fuel crisis and I believe it is just across the country.

[00:46:05]Look at this empty Ralangala street.

[00:46:09]No vehicles.

[00:46:11]Everything at a standstill.

[00:46:14]Even here we always have uh on this moon road always have vehicles going to Tika.

[00:46:22]But uh see how empty it is.

[00:46:28]Can't tell you.

[00:46:30]So this is now the fuel crisis honing street and look the shops are closed.

[00:47:00]in the CBD.

[00:47:02]No shops open.

[00:47:04]These along street seems there has been can see police officers on either side.

[00:47:22]Even the neighbors supermarket is closed.

[00:47:26]Look, most of the So now they decided to down You can see police officers trying to contain the situation to ensure that there is peace and order.

[00:48:18]within the city.

[00:48:42]That's okay.

[00:48:44]around this area.

[00:48:46]Can see the media people observing the situation around this junction.

[00:49:12]>> Even media people just around trying to assess the situation police vehicles around this area.

[00:49:22]See the situation in these parts of Nairobi city.

[00:49:42]Hey boy.

[00:49:47]Come on.

[00:49:55]Clean clear clean cities.

[00:50:01]City hall dead.

[00:50:05]This is the situation in this Nairobi city.

[00:50:14]Okay. Now, what do you do? Because uh seems we are running out of uh space and currently it's uh 3 minutes to 11.

[00:50:36]As we walk near this uh Kenya archives.

[00:50:46]Kenya National Archives area.

[00:50:59]>> Clean, empty streets.

[00:51:03]Even Luli Avenue, no shops open.

[00:51:09]Just look at it and look along this uh Tomboya street.

[00:51:16]I tell you today very clean the fuel crisis.

[00:51:44]Even on this side vehicles are just parked packed and see at this mall.

[00:52:03]See this route very clean now.

[00:52:08][laughter] Let's pass at area super metro.

[00:52:16]So remember to subscribe, hit the notification bell to receive all notifications once we update a new video. So this is the current situation within the Nairobi CBD.

[00:52:31]And look how it is. And you can also assess the infrastructure in terms of uh drainage.

[00:52:40]It rained the other day. So super metros are always parked here, but they issued a a statement at night. Most of the circles issued a statement at night uh notifying people that they will not be operating today.

[00:52:59]So this is the current situation of this area.

[00:53:10]We can see we have an helicopter trying to assess the situation.

[00:53:20]Let's also check. I think they have extracted the slabs on this side of M Avenue.

[00:53:36]Look, this is the current situation along this uh avenue.

[00:53:44]They have extracted the >> slabs and the initial couples now set for a new.

[00:53:58]So it seems most of these renovations are taking shape slowly by slowly across the city.

[00:54:08]tell you. So this is a long avenue service line here in Nairobi CBD.

[00:54:18]Okay, for the analysts and the experts in the house, you can let us know when you analyze the fuel, the fuel cost, assess the situation within this city.

[00:54:38]What can you say?

[00:54:43]How can it be analyzed? How can the situation be solved?

[00:54:49]Will the strike proceed or they'll just have to return and make sure that most of the prizes, fair prices are hiked. Even see at house the shops are fully closed within this city. So right now it's borders but no people to ferry. So keep tuned, keep posted.

[00:55:25]Look at this stretch.

[00:55:30]I tell you, look at that. This is just that there can come walkway.

[00:55:41]Can you believe even during weekends, even during holidays, it's never like this.

[00:55:49]And what's the time right now?

[00:55:52]It's 8 minutes past 11 and we are just trying to check how economy has been uh crippled in this uh Nairobi.

[00:56:21]I can hear people calling yet there is no vehicle.

[00:56:29]Oh, it's the borders that are fing people. So if you want to go probably even maybe to 500 that is $5.

[00:56:50]This is the current empty empt emptiness of this uh place.

[00:57:17]You can see on the side of Ken Kong straight.

[00:57:23]It's an empty street.

[00:57:33]I see when on the side the guys are playing games. Is it bad?

[00:57:47]You can't see me with your people.

[00:58:06]right now cannot uh take the risk of uh you not you know not everyone is here for a cool showdown.

[00:58:26]Look how empty these one are media people. They're just taking videos slowly by slowly and you know there is a power up people there just making some noise and before long you could realize can see even offices around that place.

[00:59:05]They're taking people away from the bank area.

[00:59:11]So, let's continue walking on this Mo Avenue.

[00:59:18][music] There is Kimi Kimi on the other side.

[00:59:26][music] I started Can see people are running today not in the mood of running.

[01:00:10]I have to take let let us continue. We were checking the status of the roads.

[01:00:16]uh how the roads are even the infrastructure and look how clean oh did we say now cleanness in terms of uh when there are no vehicles but now the challenge is most of the shops are closed and uh you see how it's the pressure is starting to build on that side that means very soon there will be a hel shelter between the police officers and uh citizens So, can you believe that uh we always have uh lots of vehicles along this route?

[01:01:01]Can you believe this is the situation? Oh, what's the time right now?

[01:01:11]Even the renovation activities Right now you can see it's 14 minutes past 11.

[01:01:28]Most of these renovation activities have come to a stop. Most of the shops closed.

[01:01:35]No people around this stretch.

[01:01:38]Hey, this is the Nairobi for you or Nairobi for us. The neighbor's shop is open but now you have to pass through the security there for you to access that area.

[01:02:03]>> No vehicles to run. So that means today It's a a walking day.

[01:02:26]Let's see how the situation is at railways and see they have already renovated this area.

[01:02:35]Just uh waiting for the final touches.

[01:02:38]around this place.

[01:02:41]We have one, two, three vehicles here and there.

[01:02:47]But I'm sure if it's public, you go like this one demanded, you'll have to spend good cash.

[01:03:04]So we are at this obelisk.

[01:03:08]Look at Helsi Avenue on the downtown side.

[01:03:14]Look at Helsi Avenue on the uptown and on the side of railways.

[01:03:25]It seems we have no vehicles and that is the situation.

[01:03:33]dictated by the strike. Look here, it's rare to find it empty like this. So, vehicles are parked on the other side.

[01:03:46]And look, we have a police lorry here.

[01:03:49]So, just waiting. So, keep tuned, keep posted.

[01:04:06]They're saying no vehicle for 20 Kenyan shillings right now because there are no vehicles. So if you're going to nail stadium, you have to pay 30 Kenyan shillings.

[01:04:27]So today we are having a harmonious walk.

[01:04:34]Let's see how we cross this uh Uhuru highway at this underpass.

[01:04:40]This was at the hei and highway junction. Look at the underpass how it's coming up. Hey, even the grass.

[01:04:56]Hey, but here since people have stepped until now look can cross as if ah look at highway.

[01:05:19]Look, no vehicles.

[01:05:23]It's almost uh I can see even Kenyata Avenue roundabout.

[01:05:32]It's very clean, very clear. This underpass so we are still doing this uh review. We are reviewing the situation within the CBD within Nairobi environments. We have come from road.

[01:05:53]We have gone through the CBD and right now we are on this Hassi Avenue. What's the time? It's 25 minutes past 11 in the morning.

[01:06:06]What's the approximate time that we have used from around 9:15 to now? Those are almost 2 hours of walking.

[01:06:18]So when you do the comparison to ours got the situation of the underpass.

[01:06:36]So roughly how many kilometers have we covered?

[01:06:41]Not sure.

[01:06:43]Ah, I had not set even the I wish I had set the app to give me an a rough estimate of the distance and see lassi as you go.

[01:07:01]People are walking far from the market and no vehicles. So they have to carry their wheels as they go to their places.

[01:07:11]See They also trimmed these fins.

[01:07:27]>> That is green park terminal. Vehicles packed of police cars.

[01:07:35]1 2 3 4 5.

[01:07:41]and I headed towards the CBD guys. You can also see the progress of this uh viuct. Remember we were just here a few days ago as we were reviewing the top of the project.

[01:08:10]So you can see we have cr I believe they're setting the concrete gatherings and do you call them barriers or gatherings?

[01:08:28]So this is Appla Hill Road that is Rahim Tula Tower and uh look at this violet how it's coming up in the upper hill area. Most of you say that this could be only two lens.

[01:08:52]So not sure maybe wait until it is completed for us to be sure if it will be a dual carriageway or a just two-way lens.

[01:09:07]Wow. And we continue walking as we go.

[01:09:15]I love to also check Gong Road. Right now it is uh 26 minutes to 12 p.m. And the walk continues even on this uh you know we were having the chat with some people they were saying this one is like a holiday you see also the vehicles are still obeying even when there is less traffic they still obeying the traffic along this uh bong road. You can see now those that are headed towards this side. See they have made a stop now waiting for it to begin.

[01:10:01]And there is no police officer around.

[01:10:04]Wow.

[01:10:06]See this is a dust bin.

[01:10:09]Look how water is flowing.

[01:10:13]Hey the road is clear. So someone was equating this to a holiday. So I said we cannot equate this to a holiday. This is a paralysis of the economy because during holidays there is always operations. You can see even people are just at the stage >> waiting to board vehicles.

[01:10:37]This is at the traffic stage but no vehicles currently unless just for the few private vehicles and maybe you may happen to meet one or two public service vehicles.

[01:10:58]So checking on the time it's 18 minutes to midday that is uh to 12:00 noon this size of the road most of these markings they they're always a bit good or do they do renovations every now and then for the capacity enhancement because you can see the zebra crossing still intact even after this is Rafi road that is Alura Apartments and look look at the road markings on Gong Road.

[01:11:49]Look how the pedestrian is crossing calmly.

[01:11:55]Look people walking.

[01:11:58]This is a can we equate this to a carefree day? It's a carefree day but forced very much forced when you come to this side. And there are sitting nooks within the trees inside here.

[01:12:20]Let me identify one. You can go check it out.

[01:12:28]It's like a relaxation park within this area. Let's see. This is within Nairobi.

[01:12:36]So you can see can come here.

[01:12:41]Relax.

[01:12:43]Yeah.

[01:12:46]And this is Nairobi.

[01:12:50]What did you think of this park around this place? Oh, this one they say construction and maintenance of Gong Road by Kura. See this city looks.

[01:13:09]Oh, there also in plenty. People come to relax here. Can see people sitting on them. Others like this one. relaxing.

[01:13:20]And here you can see the the upper hill green gates. I think they're the ones who did this. But waste management is the lucky concern.

[01:13:36]So see how this place has. This is one of the best public toilets around this area.

[01:13:46]The vehicles are packed and generally you would get here lots of vehicles headed to headed to headed to K headed to Kibria number.

[01:14:02]But today look at the situation of the few places.

[01:14:12]Now the roads are empty. This is at the KTC stage and for sure this has been a great walk as we see this uh foot bridge here at KMTC.
