Mamlaka ya Barabara za Kitaifa (KeNHA) imetangaza kuwa sehemu ya barabara Mai Mahiu-Suswa-Narok (B7) imefungwa karibu na Kedong Ranch kwa sababu ya mafuriko na mchanga kutokana na mvua za mvua. Wafuasi wa magari wanashauriwa kutumia njia tatu mbadala. Timu za majibu zimeshindwa na zinafanya kazi kuisafisha.

Timu za majibu zimeshindwa tayari na ziko mahali, zikisafisha uchafu na kurudisha harakati za kawaida kwenye barabara. KeNHA ilionya madereva wasijaribu kupita sehemu zenye mafuriko, kwani magari yanaweza kuchukuliwa na maji. “Mamlaka inafanya kazi kusafisha sehemu iliyoathiriwa ya barabara.

Njia mbadala zilizotolewa ni: - Ngong - Suswa - Nairobi - Naivasha - Nakuru - Mau Narok - Narok - Nairobi - Naivasha - Longonot - Suswa Madereva wanahimizwa kufuata maelekezo kutoka kwa maafisa wa polisi na walinda trafiki waliowekwa eneo hilo. Mvua inayoendelea imezidisha hali mbaya kati ya Naivasha ICD na Suswa Ranch. Wanaosafiri bado wanashauriwa kuahirisha safari hadi mafuriko yapungue. “Madereva ambao bado hawajaanza safari zao wanashauriwa kuahirisha safari hadi mafuriko yapungue. Ambapo safari ni lazima, madereva wanaweza kufikiria kutumia njia mbadala,” KeNHA iliagiza. KeNHA inafanya kazi usiku na mchana ili kurejesha usalama wa barabara.
