Sakaja waives approval requirements for minor repairs ahead of El Niño rains

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has waived application and approval requirements for minor building repairs ahead of the anticipated El Niño rains. The waiver will allow residents to install gutters and undertake minor repairs in their homes as part of early preparations. Speaking during an inspection of flood mitigation works in Mwiki, Kasarani Constituency, Sakaja said the county has deployed additional machinery to clear and widen drainage channels at identified hotspots. He also warned against illegal dumping, saying those found dumping waste in waterways and open spaces will face the law.
