Torrential rains and floods have once again put Nairobi authorities on the spot as residents demand clear-age of blocked drainage systems. Residents want to know what the county government is doing to ease the flooding problem in various estates. Some residents say they haven’t seen any action to clear drains or any effort to create awareness of what to do in emergencies. Last month City Hall started using a Sh25 million drain flusher machine to clear blocked drainage systems. The Disaster Unit was formed last month to help manage emergencies.
