Some Meru MCAs in areas affected by floods have asked the National Disaster Management Authority and wellwishers for help. The MCAs are Elius Murega (Municipality) and county assembly deputy speaker David Kithia (Akithi), Priscilla Kithia (Nkomo), Generosa Wamati (Igembe East) and Joshua Mutethia (nominated). Kithia said with impassable roads and floods, Nkomo residents are the worst hit as it is impossible to escape marauding elephants that appear frequently. He called on the Kenya Rural Roads Authority and Kenya National Highway Authority to fast track drainage repair and remove silt. The most affect areas area parts of Igembe, Tigania East and Tigania West.
