Protest after Murang’a tycoons block culvert to drain flood waters

The section has been rendered impassible in the past two weeks, with the investor declining to have the culverts passing through his land unclogged.

Kenya National Highways Authority (Kenha) has blamed the destruction of a section of the Mukuyu-Murang’a town road on a tycoon.

Central Region Kenya National Highways Authority (Kenha) Manager Francis Kimata said the tycoon blocked the culverts after he purchased the land near Total petrol station, diverting floods into Murare stream and causing huge potholes.
