Transport in Bonje area came to a stand still as the residents went on protest in order for the government to build a wall barrier in between the dual courage road in order to reduce the frequent accidents experienced at Bonje. The road users including Matatu drivers and touts started their protest at Mazeras guided by the sitting Councilor of Mazeras Mr Reuben Gandani Mwalaulo and two pastors Nancy Njeru and Evans Olina. The pastors were to perform prayers at the point were frequent accidents had been experienced before heading to the Kenya National Highway Authority offices and lastly to the Provincial Commissioners office. “Our cries should be heard by the government officials and build a wall barrier in that will stretch up to the china road and also erect bumps at the black spots area and areas with a lot of population,” the area Councilor said. “We have joined hands as pastors and citizens in order to perform a prayers at the place were many incidents of accidents has been experienced because the country is in a crisis and God is not happy with the death of innocent individuals. We are conducting peaceful protests and we will not harm anybody.” Pastor Evans of the church of God Rabai said Pastor Nancy added that the cries of the innocent will always be listened by God as she read the bible fro the book of Deuteronomy 2:7:14. The police had a tough time dispatching the protestors when they arrived. At the same time there was an accident at the same area earlier in the day involving a lorry that had overturned.
