Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has ordered the preparation of a 48-hour action plan to address flooding, drainage failures, and infrastructure damage across the city following an urgent meeting with national government agencies at City Hall.
The meeting, attended by several Principal Secretaries and representatives from key national agencies, focused on the worsening flooding situation caused by ongoing heavy rains.
Sakaja directed officials to prepare a report mapping drainage hotspots, identifying damaged roads and infrastructure, outlining the work required, the responsible agencies, and the cost so that repairs can begin immediately.
The committee also agreed to prioritize the repair and recarpeting of roads damaged by floods and discussed the installation of new street lighting across informal settlements, highways, and residential estates.
The implementation committee is expected to reconvene on Thursday to review the report and approve immediate interventions.
