Urgent Call for Kajiado County,Department of Water Services ,Environment &Natural Resources Support in Addressing the Kimana Drainage and Flooding Crisis
We, the members of Eradicate Takataka, alongside the residents of Kimana, are writing to bring urgent attention to the deteriorating state of our local drainage systems and to formally request a collaborative intervention from the Kajiado County Government.
The Current Situation
For months, clogged trenches and blocked waterways have posed a severe threat to the health, businesses, and daily lives of Kimana residents. Left unchecked, these stagnant waters become breeding grounds for mosquitoes, emit foul odors, and cause destructive flash floods during heavy rains.
Refusing to sit back, Eradicate Takataka recently mobilized a community led pilot project. Our members have taken to the streets with shovels and boots, working tirelessly to unblock the heavily clogged trenches and restore water flow.
While our community-led efforts have provided temporary relief, the scale of Kimana's drainage crisis requires engineering solutions.
