Flooding: Nakuru-Nairobi highway motorists asked to be careful

Motorists using the Nairobi-Nakuru highway have been put on high alert after River Malewa burst its banks due to heavy rains.

There are fears that the main bridge connecting Naivasha and Gilgil towns could be submerged by the gushing waters.

Residents of the nearby KCC village in Naivasha have already started moving after their houses were flooded.

According to Enock Kiminta from Lake Naivasha Waters Resources Association, the situation could get worse in the coming hours.

"Currently it's raining heavily in the Aberdares and the floods could submerge this bridge on the highway and motorists should be cautious," he said.
