Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has ordered the immediate vacation of over 200 families that live downstream Kijabe railway, in Ruiru village. He said water has started building up around the railway, and could cause a bigger tragedy compared to Mai Mahiu. “Those who fail to move out will be evacuated mandatorily for public safety,” Kindiki said on Tuesday. On Thursday last week, Kindiki ordered voluntary vacation or mandatory evacuation of all persons living in the neighbourhood of the 178 dams and water reservoirs. The Interior CS also ordered the removal of buildings erected illegally within the 30-metre radius of Nairobi Rivers (Mathare, Ngong and Nairobi Rivers).
