Nairobi County Chief Officer for Citizen Engagement and Customer Service, Geoffrey Mosiria, has called on motorists and residents to

As relentless downpours continue to batter Nairobi, County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria has issued an urgent advisory to motorists and residents to exercise extreme vigilance against flash floods.
The skies over Nairobi have opened up with unforgiving intensity, transforming vital arterial roads into hazardous waterways. The heavy rainfall is pushing the city’s infrastructure to its absolute limits.
Geoffrey Mosiria, the Nairobi County Chief Officer for Citizen Engagement and Customer Service, has stepped forward to plead with the public. His message is stark: the convenience of a rapid commute must not eclipse the fundamental priority of human life.
The Kenya Meteorological Department has warned that the torrential rains, accompanied by thunderstorms, will persist. High-risk areas span across the Highlands, the Lake Victoria Basin, and crucial sectors of the capital. Poor visibility and pooling floodwaters have already triggered severe traffic gridlocks and posed life-threatening risks to downstream settlements.
This weather event is a brutal stress test for Nairobi's drainage systems and emergency response mechanisms. While city crews are deployed to unclog blocked storm drains, the sheer volume of precipitation requires a collective civic responsibility. Citizens are urged to avoid littering, which exacerbates urban flooding.
"Nature does not negotiate with our schedules," Mosiria cautioned. "Patience and extreme caution are our only viable defenses against the unpredictable force of these ongoing rains."
