Nairobi County Senator Edwin Sifuna has termed the deaths occurring in various parts of Nairobi County following the long rains as 'unnecessary'.
Speaking during an interview on Spice FM on Thursday, April 24, Sifuna blamed the county government, saying it needs to take certain actions to ensure the safety of residents. "My team has been in contact with families to support them because this is the most unnecessary death in Nairobi.
We all know that the rains would eventually come, and the county government needs to do certain things to make sure that people are safe," he said.
His remarks come hours after Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, during an interview on Citizen TV on Wednesday night, blamed the flooding on outdated drainage systems and a lack of funds.
