Motorists were advised to avoid the road heading to Mount Kenya University and Thika Level 5 Hospital where students were engaging in a violent clash with the authorities.

The demonstrating students complained over misuse of funds, frequent water outages, blocked sewers, no WiFi and neglect of duties by some of their lecturers.
