Heavy rains have been experienced in recent days in some parts of the country, including Nairobi.
This has led to flooding incidents in some Nairobi estates and the Central Business District (CBD), as was witnessed on Sunday, May 11.
As a result, Geoffrey Mosiria, Nairobi’s Chief Officer for Environment, detailed that some of the flooding had been caused by structures that were blocking drainage systems.
"We issued a notice for the removal of structures from the drainage systems. With the growing population, land is covered by structures, so most of the water goes to the drainage systems," Mosiria stated.
