Bodies of victims killed in Nairobi floods ferried for burial

Five bodies out of the 27 victims of the Nairobi floods have been transported to West Pokot, Eldoret, Murang’a, Kirinyaga, and Mtito Andei by the Sonko Rescue Team.

This follows a pledge by Sonko on Tuesday to clear pending morgue bills, provide coffins, and facilitate transport for all victims of the floods in Nairobi.

Sonko said the remaining 22 bodies will be transported once families finalise burial arrangements in their respective rural homes.

The National Economic Development Party leader also urged leaders to set aside their political differences and avoid politicising the flood tragedy, instead calling for unity in addressing the flooding crisis and supporting affected families.

“When I was governor, we made it a habit to unclog drainage to ease flooding. Instead of leaders coming together to help, some are busy politicising the issue. That is wrong. Let us come together and do what is supposed to be done,” he said.
