Keep Drainage Systems Clear<\/p>\n<p>Governor Sakaja has urged residents and businesses to avoid dumping garbage in drainage channels. Blocked drains are one of the biggest causes of flooding in Nairobi.<\/p>\n<p>2. Proper Waste Disposal<\/p>\n<p>He has encouraged Nairobians to use designated garbage collection points and work with county waste services to prevent trash from clogging waterways.<\/p>\n<p>3. Report Blocked Drains Early<\/p>\n<p>Residents are advised to report blocked drainage systems to county authorities so that emergency teams can clear them before heavy rains.<\/p>\n<p>4. Avoid Building on Riparian Land<\/p>\n<p>Sakaja has warned against construction along riverbanks and drainage corridors, saying such developments obstruct water flow and worsen floods.<\/p>\n<p>5. Support County Drainage Upgrades<\/p>\n<p>The county government has been working on desilting rivers, clearing drainage systems, and expanding stormwater infrastructure to reduce flooding in flood-prone areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sakaja\u2019s Tips on Floods in Nairob Johnson Sakaja has repeatedly addressed the issue of flooding in Nairobi, especially during heavy rains that disrupt businesses and&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-county-mews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1381"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1381\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1384,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1381\/revisions\/1384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
