The government has begun emptying two dams at the Patel farm -said to be structurally unsound and a danger to residents of Solai in Nakuru County.

Draining Marigu and Milmet dams caused panic among residents living downstream and families affected by the recent tragedy who thought another dam had burst its banks.
