The ongoing torrential rains have revealed a dangerous and urgent structural failure in Nairobi’s urban infrastructure.
Streets are submerged, storm water channels are blocked, and drainage systems are overwhelmed within hours of rainfall. Key economic highways like Mombasa Road, Parklands and commercial areas like Kirinyaga Road are constantly brought to a standstill. It is not a seasonal inconvenience anymore, it is a national emergency unfolding in real time.
