Normal business at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport was temporarily stopped on as President Uhuru Kenyatta jetted in the country.
The president came back to the country on Friday October 15 after a week long trip in the United States.
Flights in and out of the country were stopped as the head of state was welcomed by traditional dancers and government officials.
Travelers complained as they were denied opportunity to move around the airport with some of them taking to social media to express their dissatisfaction over the delays of their flights.
Other Kenyans also complained about traffic jam that was experienced along Mombasa Road. Here are some of the reactions:
