Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has ordered the immediate rehabilitation of Nairobi Dam, citing urgent structural, environmental, and safety concerns that pose a significant flood risk to thousands of residents.

• The rehabilitation strategy includes clearing debris, conducting geotechnical surveys, and erecting a 30-meter protective barrier.
• Key figures involved include Governor Sakaja, alongside officials from the Water Resources Authority (WRA), the Nairobi Rivers Commission (NRC), and the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC).
• The dam, dating back to 1953, is severely affected by pollution, sewage, encroachment, and rogue settlements, which have created dangerous risks.
