What happened
Gully erosion and flooding were reported in Nakuru following issues related to the construction of the Nakuru-Ol-kalou Highway. Reports indicate that the Kenya National Highways Authority diverted water from two dams and Ndundori Hills to local farms. The drainage constructed along the highway was incomplete and lacked proper corrugation, and water was diverted underneath a house.
