Nairobi Governor Sakaja has ordered the immediate demolition of illegal structures along riverbanks and the reclamation of riparian land to curb persistent flooding in the city.

• The operation targets structures that have constricted waterways, with authorities citing cases where rivers have been reduced to narrow culverts.
• Key individuals involved include Governor Sakaja and Nairobi Rivers Commission Commissioner Mumo Musuva.
• Demolitions will also affect Gikomba Market, with traders given until the end of March to vacate.
