Kongowea residents in Nyali constituency, Mombasa, are calling on the government to intervene after a private developer destroyed a section of the storm water system.
The residents want the construction works at the site adjacent to the community halted immediately saying that since the construction of a perimeter wall which they say was erected illegally, houses have been flooding.
“We are over 20,000 people living in this area that have been affected over the years. Whenever it rains, water floods in our houses, we have lamented about this issue ever since but nothing has been happening,” said Khalid Salim.
Salim alleged that the land is a public road reserve that was illegally grabbed and blocked for use by the public.
