Machakos County inaonya na kumudu majengo kwenye ardhi ya riparian

Serikali ya kaunti ya Machakos imetangaza kumudu majengo na kuta zilizojengwa kwenye ardhi ya riparian ili kurejesha njia za maji na kupunguza hatari ya mafuriko. Maeneo ya Mavoko kama 360 Estate, Kicheko na Kincar yatakuwa ya kwanza kushughulikiwa. Meneja wa Manispaa ya Mavoko Josylyn Kauta amesema makubaliano yamefikiwa na mwanakozi mmoja kuanza kazi mara moja.

Kaunti ya Machakos imetoa onyo la kumudu majengo yaliyojengwa kwenye ardhi ya riparian, hasa katika maeneo ya Mavoko na vilivyozunguka. Kuta na nyumba zilizojengwa wakati wa kiangazi zimesimama mbele ya njia za maji, na kusababisha mafuriko wakati wa mvua.

Kauta alisema, “Kama serikali ya kaunti ya Machakos, tumekubaliana na mwanakozi kuanza kazi mara moja ili tuunde njia za maji.” Aliongeza, “Tumewahamia wale wameingia kwenye njia za maji chini mwa mito na kuwapa notisi za kumudu.”

Enforcement itaanza kutoka kituo cha petroli cha B-Energy, kupitia Kicheko na Silanga. Wamiliki wa mali wanaombwa kuondoa majengo yao kabla kaunti haijafanya hivyo.

Kauta alisema, “Hii ni onyo kwa wote wanaojenga kwamba waanze kuondoa kabla hatujapunguza majengo yao.” Mafuriko ya hivi karibuni yameathiri maisha katika Nairobi na Machakos, ikiwa na ripoti za maji kuingia nyumbani na barabara kuharibika.
