Before every rainy season, residents' fondest wish is that the drainage system would be fixed. The rains expose the old, damaged, clogged and overflowing drainage system built for a much smaller population about 100 years ago. It already completely rebuilt drainage for Mogadishu Road, from scratch; it's clearing debris from around drainage systems so rubbish doesn't get washed down. Out of funds, Sh32 million was to improve the drainage system in the county and put up measures to mitigate the effects of the heavy rains. Areas identified for rehabilitation included Catherine Ndereba Road, Lang’ata South Road, Kayole Spine Road, Popo Road, Mai Mahiu Road, Kawangware box culverts along Macharia Road, Kawangware 46-Muslim Primary School Road and Jonathan Ng’eno Road drainages.
