Nairobi Governor Sakaja Johnson has led the removal of unauthorized structures obstructing waterways along Naivasha Road in Kawangware. This action comes as the county intensifies flood-mitigation efforts in anticipation of the anticipated El Niño rains. Governor Sakaja emphasized that further removals will occur to restore waterways and enhance the flow of stormwater. Similar operations are being conducted in Mlango Soko and other districts of the city.
The governor also visited flood-mitigation projects in Imara Daima, Kwa Njenga, and the Governor’s Road areas within Embakasi South and East. During his visits, he observed teams clearing, desilting, deepening, and widening drainage channels and waterways. Additional machinery has been introduced to flood-prone areas as the county accelerates its interventions.
Governor Sakaja stated, "Our El Niño interventions are already underway across the city. We are deepening and widening drainage channels, desilting waterways, and deploying machinery to identified hotspots. We will continue with urgency because these works are critical to protecting lives and property."
