About 1,000 families have been displaced after Lake Naivasha and Lower Nzoia Irrigation canal burst their banks following heavy rains.
In Naivasha, the most affected are residents of Kihoto estate, where tens of homes, schools, and churches have been submerged in the last one week, with fears that the numbers could rise in the coming days.
The move comes a couple of weeks after the government issued a notice to the families to move out following a sharp rise in the water levels.
The latest incident has raised fears of disease outbreak in the estate that is home to tens of flower farm workers after boreholes and nearby latrines got submerged.
