Strike over high fuel prices paralyses transport in Kenya The usually bustling streets of Nairobi have been eerily quiet in recent days, as public transport operators embarked on a nationwide strike to protest against exorbitant fuel prices.
The strike has paralyzed the country's transportation network, leaving thousands of commuters stranded and businesses crippled.
The trigger for the strike was the government's decision to raise petroleum prices to record levels, with costs increasing by over 20% in a matter of days.
