Government identifies higher ground for Nairobi flood relocation

The government is racing against time to mitigate risks and protect Kenyans ahead of the anticipated El Niño rains. Among the measures being considered is the identification of safe, higher ground across Nairobi to temporarily relocate residents living in high-risk areas ahead of the rains. The plan was unveiled during a meeting chaired by Deputy President Prof. Kithure Kindiki and attended by the heads of the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), Nairobi Rivers Commission and other agencies.
