More than 18 families have been displaced as a result of flooding in Nyandiwa, Suba sub-county.
Rental houses and shops in Nyandiwa trading centre were marooned.
The floods also destroyed property of unknown value. Suba Deputy County Commissioner Joseph Maina said the flooding was as a result of poor drainage on the Nyandiwa-Nyenga road that is under construction.
“This type of flood has not been witnessed here before. It has rendered many families homeless,” said Mr Maina.
He appealed to the county's disaster management department to rescue the residents as a long-term solution was sought.
