Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has announced the commencement of reconstruction for bridges destroyed by floods.
Addressing attendees during Labour Day celebrations at Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi, Sakaja highlighted the challenges the country is facing, particularly the loss of lives due to floods.
“We have 17 bridges that were affected by floods, and I can confirm to you, Mr. President, that as we speak now, the reconstruction of those bridges has started to ensure our children can go to school and cross over with ease,” he stated.
Sakaja commended the multi-agency approach adopted in the search and rescue operations for flood victims. He also announced plans by the county government to evacuate Nairobi Dam to prevent accidents.
“With the disaster that has befallen us, I believe the public now appreciates even more the efforts that President William Ruto is making towards affordable housing, which will be of great help,” Sakaja added.
