Several Kenyans are said to be stranded on major highways as they rush to the village for Christmas celebrations.
Many of those who are stuck in traffic took to social media to share their frustrations while warning those who are yet to leave the City to look for alternative roads.

Media personality Francis Lichivya used his Twitter to advise those travelling to Western Kenya to use the Narok-Njoro road and avoid the Nairobi-Naivasha highway.
“Are you heading to Western Kenya...avoid the jam along Nairobi Naivasha road and go through Narok Njoro road. Your stopover for breakfast or lunch will do you good as you enjoy traffic-free roads,” Luchivya said.
Those using the Nairobi- Nakuru highway have had it rough for the last few days with the traffic building up day and night.
