Nairobi County has issued a flood warning, directing landlords to move away from riparian land due to anticipated heavy rainfall from Monday, August 18. The city’s strained drainage systems, overwhelmed by rapid urbanization and reduced natural ground cover, are a major concern, with residents urged to cooperate to prevent flooding.

• Over 20mm of rain is expected in certain regions, including Nairobi.
• Geoffrey Mosiria, Chief Officer for Environment, is a key figure involved.
• Residents living on riparian land are urged to move back at least 30 metres to avert risk.
