Yesterday, people took over the streets near Lumumba Drive. These Roysambu neighbors marched together because their roads look terrible. Rain has made everything worse around their homes, and they want fixes from their city leaders fast.
Everyone asked for help from MP Kamande Mwafrika during their protest. The whole area faces problems whenever storms hit Nairobi. Big holes filled with water across all driving paths. Many businesses struggle when customers cannot reach them through flooded streets.
Protesters yelled about their rights as they walked together. Later, police came and made everyone leave the area. One resident told reporters that every road throughout Roysambu needs repair work. Another person mentioned how water has nowhere to go because drainage systems fail.
When a community representative tried explaining the situation, angry neighbors shut him down fast. They demanded immediate road repairs instead of excuses. This happened just after Deputy President Kithure Kindiki promised the administration would finish incomplete road projects nationwide before starting new ones.
Kindiki spoke at Mucatha village on Thursday, where he stopped during his travels. He explained that the administration found money to restart projects abandoned between 2018 and 2019. The Deputy President talked about how good roads help farmers sell crops more easily and connect people to important services.
The Kenya Rural Roads Authority handles most neighborhood streets across the country. Local committees help decide which roads need attention first each year. Many citizens hope these officials will address their concerns before conditions become even worse during rainy periods.
