Director of Narok Line Services Limited, Andrew Mwangi, has called on transport authorities such as NTSA to proactively issue timely alerts about flooded routes to keep drivers and travelers informed and safe during this rainy season.
Mwangi emphasised that such alerts should be shared widely across social media platforms and mainstream media to reach as many road users as possible.
He specifically highlighted flood-prone areas such as the Mai Mahiu–Narok Road, Narok-Bomet Road, urging drivers to exercise extreme caution in these regions.
“Drivers should steer clear of flooded routes until water levels drop and it’s safe to proceed,” he advised. “Safety must come first, always.”
He urged drivers not to rush for one to go more trips without thinking about the passengers’ safety, insisting that the passengers are paramount.
Kenyans have been urged to brace for widespread flooding as heavy rains continue to batter the country, bringing life to a standstill in some parts of Nairobi on Wednesday, April 23 morning.
Streets were turned into rivers, and estates are struggling with rising water levels, causing major disruptions for residents.
