We saw all that and more, earlier in the week, when virtually all major roads in our land were clogged to the point of saturation. The lucky ones found motels to check into, and check out early the following morning, before the roads got clogged once again. The unlucky ones simply endured the night (and morning) on the road and only made it home days later. But this nationwide paralysis reveals a lot about our peculiarities as Kenyans—and it’s got nothing to do with our roads or even the vehicles that we drive. That’s why shops fill up a day before schools reopen and roads become impassable.
