As the rains begin, some Nairobi residents living along the city's riparian areas have been asked to move 30 meters away on both sides of the land.
The Nairobi County Chief Officer for Environment, Geoffrey Mosiria, advised the residents to take the necessary preventive measures to avert any extreme rain effects. "The rains have started, so be careful and ensure that the drainage system around your residential area is free of garbage and unclogged.
Those who live near the river should move 30 meters away on both sides," Mosiria said in a night advisory on Friday.
Nairobians have also been directed not to throw garbage beside the road, which leads to blockage of the troughs and floods in the residential areas.
