Fake! Moja denies expressway closure to allow Gachagua’s procession

MOJA Expressway Company has dismissed reports circulating on social media claiming that the central business district (CBD) access through the Nairobi Expressway has been closed.

In a statement on Thursday, the company said the claims are fake and not authorised by the operator.

“Please note that the poster making rounds on social media suggesting the closure of the Nairobi Expressway CBD access is fake.

“MOJA Expressway Company is not affiliated with either, and does it authorise the closure of the Nairobi Expressway due to political processions,” the statement reads.

The company clarified that the Nairobi Expressway remains a public road that is open for use.

It added that all planned road closure notices are only shared through its official social media platforms, where safety measures are also communicated to protect motorists.

MOJA Expressway urged the public to stop spreading false information and instead use official channels for any inquiries they may have.

“We urge the general public to refrain from circulating false information and reach out to our service hotline,” the company said.’

The fake poster that has gone viral on social media claimed the closure was to allow a procession by supporters of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

It claimed that their presence had created tension, and to ensure the closure was also to ensure the safety of motorists.
