The leadership of Nairobi County has deployed officers to designated areas around the city to unblock the drainage system as the short rain season officially begins.

Speaking on Friday, Nairobi County Chief Officer of Environment Geoffrey Mosiria revealed that the county is working to find a permanent solution to the city's flooding challenge every time it rains.

While the county is working on the solution, Mosiria has advised motorists in flood-prone areas of the city, including Westlands, Kilimani, and Parklands, to exercise extra caution while driving during this rainy season. ''The rains have begun, and we urge all motorists within Nairobi County to exercise extra caution.

According to our environmental experts, we expect heavy rainfall over the next three days,'' Mosiria advised.
