Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has ordered the preparation of a 48-hour action plan to address flooding, drainage failures and infrastructure damage across the city.

This comes a day after the Ministry of Interior and National Administration flagged out 37 flood-prone areas in Nairobi following a mapping exercise conducted under the Nairobi Rivers Regeneration Programme.

The study found that many vulnerable areas lie along major river corridors and tributaries of the Nairobi River, exposing them to flooding when water levels rise.
