Mudavadi Pledges Urgent Action After Deadly Nairobi Floods Kill 23

Following deadly overnight floods in Nairobi that claimed 23 lives, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has pledged urgent and coordinated action to address the disaster's root causes. President William Ruto has announced urgent government measures to aid families affected by severe flooding in Nairobi and across the country, following torrential rains on March 7, 2026. In a related development, the Kenya Meteorological Department has warned that heavy rainfall is expected to continue for the next three days across Nairobi, central, Rift Valley, Nyanza and western regions. Meanwhile, the floods have left major roads submerged, leaving residents stranded and unable to reach their homes. Turning to preparedness, Kenyans can now receive real-time rain and flood warnings every 15 minutes through a specialized mobile application.
