Drivers using the Nairobi-Nakuru highway have been advised to exercise caution during the Gen Z memorial protests on June 25, 2025.
 
The Long Distance Drivers and Conductors Association (LODDCA) issued an early morning update to drivers playing the route.
 
LODCA stated that residents of Limuru, Kimende, Kinungi, and Ihindu lit bonfires on the busy Nairobi-Nakuru highway.
 
The Association said the residents have also placed stones along the highway and were extorting from drivers and passengers.
 
“Limuru, Kimende, Kinungi and Ihindu residents on the busy Nairobi-Nakuru highway have lit bonfires on the highway na wameweka mawe kwa barabara (they have placed stones on the road), extorting money from drivers.
Tukae rada (let’s be careful),” LODDCA warned.

Motorist Association Update on Nairobi -Nakuru Highway 

The Motorist Association issued a similar update to its members and the general public.

According to the Association, the highway has been blocked at around Kimende.

The Association questioned the whereabouts of the traffic police to solve the issue.

Besides, the Motorist Association asked the police to identify the individuals blocking traffic along the road.

“We have noticed a blockade of Naivasha Nairobi Highway at or around Kimende. Where is the National Police Service? Who is this disrupting free flow with impunity?” the Association asked.

Traffic Flow Across the Country

Further, the Motorist Association asked the police to ensure a smooth flow of traffic during the protests.

The Association said demonstrators have pledged to be peaceful, and the protests should not interfere with the transportation services.

“Let the traffic flow. The youthful protesters have said they are peaceful. Let the buses and lorries, cars, cabs, boda and matatu free flow,” the Association said.

In another update, the Association said traffic is flowing freely on all roads across the country. 

It promised to keep members and the country updated on the traffic throughout the day.

“Everything is safe. We will keep you posted on today’s announced peaceful #25th June 2025 remembrance protests,” it said.
