Israeli Prime Minister Consoles Nairobians After Causing Traffic Nightmare For Two Days
Commuting in Nairobi has been a nightmare ever since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu touched down in the city on Monday.
Israeli Prime Minister caused major traffic snarl up as roads were closed to facilitate his motorcade to move with ease to wherever he went.
Haile Sellasie Avenue, Uhuru Highway, Chiromo road, Parliament Road, Wabera Street, Langata road and State House Avenue were some of the roads closed during Netanyahu’s visit.
Even Nairobi Governor Dr. Evans Kidero was forced to leave his car on the road and walk to work after he was caught in the traffic buildup.
Nairobians took to twitter to grumble about the traffic nightmare caused by the Israeli premier and apparently Netanyahu heard the complains by Nairobians.
The Israeli premier yesterday issued his sincere apology to Nairobians while speaking in State House during a state banquet held in his honor by his host President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“I am sorry that of the many pleasurable things that this visit evokes and good things, the things for good, to borrow President Kenyatta’s phrase, there is this inconvenience. So I apologize to the people of Kenya who have to wait, the people of Nairobi who have to wait in line, and I tell you that we too have waited decades for this visit, we are glad to be here.” Netanyahu consoled Nairobians.
