In a statement on Sunday, the toll-road operator Moja Expressway Company, urged all motorists using the road to be mindful of the ongoing repair works, recommending a speed limit of 80km/h at the selected locations.
The sections were closed after rowdy protesters uprooted fences, barricaded, and vandalized the road on Wednesday during the anti-government protests which in turn disrupted traffic on the route.
Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, during a subsequent inspection of the road, said that damages incurred could be over Ksh.706.7 million ($5 million).
"There are 3 railway stations that were damaged during yesterday's demos. We witnessed pre-planned attacks on key infrastructure. They came with equipment to cut copper wires. They targeted materials that they could sell,' he said on Thursday.
"The damage could be over $5 million on the expressway not adding the damage to the railway stations."
He further stated that an ongoing investigation has already resulted in the arrest of over 50 people, and more are expected to be apprehended because intelligence agencies will use information from CCTV footage to identify the suspects.
