PHOTOS: Shops closed, business crippled as Kenyans forced to walk on day two of matatu strike
The national transport strike entered its second day on Tuesday, leaving roads largely deserted and paralysing public transport across Nairobi and other parts of the country.
A spot-check within Nairobi's Central Business District revealed that major streets, usually busy termini, and matatu stages were eerily empty as most shops stayed shut amid security patrols.
Hundreds of commuters were left stranded, forcing many to walk long distances or rely on costly motorbike services.
One Kawangware resident lamented paying double his normal fare to get to town, only to find shops closed and himself short on return fare.
