  • As the floods ravage parts of the country, we took to the skies earlier today for an aerial assessment of the situation. The Royal Media News Copter started its flight on the southern fringes of Nairobi where raging waters have forced residents out of their homes. it's a flight path that took us to the seven forks dams which as we witnessed have already started spilling over..

    We need canals and pathways for all this rain. The water can be of great use in the drier seasons. Sadly even with such heavy rains many households cannot access clean water.

    the irony in all this is when we are back to the dry season city water will be rationed in both Nairobi and Kiambu.

    Is it possible that some of this flooding in Nairobi is because the current county Government has permitted buildings to come up on riparian land? Thus blocking the natural flow of water through the lowest point of the ground and not cause flooding?

      As an individual investing in buying a home you are supposed to use common sense on where you are buying the house or a unit in apartment .
      The developers are not using common sense and they don't care but as an individual living in such areas you should.
      The Machakos County government doesn't care but as an individual buying such a house you should care.

    How is it the government allows people to have farms that get to the riverbanks???
    Extremely bad environmental protection. There should be a clear tree line along the river banks and farms should stop at least 50 feet away from them.
    This’s how Kenya will end up irretrievably losing millions of acres of arable land as the top soil is washed away during the rainy season due to erosion.
