Dear Team LNN, We deeply send our heartfelt sympathies to anyone deeply affected by the flash floods. For this particular story, you can coordinate with 0712556881 Demtila Wairimu ( Area Respondent ) for any donations
Consider investigating whether the flooding we are seeing in Nairobi is a result of the current county Government allowing the reconstruction of buildings on riparian land that were demolished by the previous county Government. For example, at the arboretum. Riparian land is land on the natural flow path of water when it rains. Riparian land is documented by Civil Engineers, surveyors, etc. When buildings are built in riparian land, the natural flow of streams, rivers, etc is blocked. Thus, when it rains, the type of flooding we are seeing may be a direct consequence of blocking the natural flow path of the streams, rivers, etc. Thus, Kenyans in Nairobi may be suffering the consequences of the county Government ignoring the advice of people trained to determine what land should not be built upon. The fix, of course, is to do what the previous county Government did. Demolish all buildings that have been put up on riparian, remove the debris and then clear a path for the natural flow of water when it rains.
You are doing an Amazing Job. This Guy giving Updates in this videos is on Top-notch. Is this LNN or CNN? This guy has Amazing Skills..Your Videographers are also Brilliant. Keep on updating us especially during time of this Disaster.
Good presenter...very empathetic
This is what you get for voting for him for his looks instead of his leadership skills.
Let's vote him out.
You are a fool , you may be educated bt just know you are a fool.
Voting is a scam
In support hata usijali vote ni sisi tuko nazo
I can't stop shading tears. God have mercy on our people 😢😢😢
LNN na uko na reporter ako na kazi smart loud 📢 and clear all the best to our fellow Kenyans God will hold the rains insallah
Thank you. He is doing a great job🙏
I noticed too
So professional and accurate, it's like am in BBC or CNN.hope this move is permanent
What a reporter! What a diction! What on oratory prowess!! Wow! LNN to the world
Great reporter with compassion!
Lynn, what were people expecting from someone who dropped out of second year and forged a certificate from Uganda.......??? If not in Tiktok, ako Sherehe uko Kilimani.

Bro… sakaja anapiga sherehe hadi Dubai ananunulia madame mzinga
@@myexpatlife9179 ...Chineke me... while people are drowning the chap is busy in Dubai...????
😂😂😂😂And now planning to build a club in Uhuru Park 😂
Does it mean that they don't hv an MCA,the Mp,Senetor,Women Rep. All these people are elected by these people who are suffering. Why can't they team up instead of blame game and safe our people? If all of us say Sakaja,sakaja many people will die. When they work together even it will be easier for National government chip in. Please let all of us work together and safe our people
thank you Lynn for airing this sad story, i hope your channel expands to include news articles presented in this format.
Thank you🙏🙏
they will never, those fake churches they hate poor people,
I remember like it was yesterday while living in kibera, we could sleep standing in cold water with young children 😢😢 No help, no one to cry to but for people to accuse us how we loved staying in feaces lol.... We had to wake up and start cleaning and just pray God to show us mercy guys I know the pain, and its saaaaad many of my friend and family members are still going through hell right now. If you ever get a chance to vote our leaders nationwide guys, lets be sober during this time
Sakaja is a sham! Eric Omondi has been on the ground helping people while this guy yuko tu, has no idea how to respond to emergencies. What a shame!
Last week when asked about the Government's lack of disaster preparedness on inooro TV, he replied ' was the govt supposed to prevent or stop the rains?'
Churches open your doors please I am heartbroken😢
Sadly most of our kenyan churches only know how to milk pple for tithes and offerings but when it comes to situations like these they close doors cause they do not want their clean churches to be messed up. Smh
Churches nowadays are private properties, we had it from Margret Wanjiru
Then they Will tell you ni nyumba ya mungu Only for collecting sadaka😢
@@sarahdeweerdt6792they're private property,why can't they open for these needy ones
Not churches owned by those holier than thou like Wanjiru
Kenyans you are my beloved people but sadly during election we behave like primitive money hungry persons who don't care for their future, our enemy in kenya are corrupt politicians, we as a country collect the highest amount of money in taxes in the region, we should demand better services, when a government sets aside billions to renovate statehouse it definitely doesn't care for the mwanaichi, we cannot continue this way.
Facts 100%
Better sonko@@flomakayla4926
Show me your friends or your circle, and your life will reflect.
Better sonko
yet during every elections we get trolled and abused for wanting to elect the one person we believe could bring positive change to the country, let Kenyans eat their tomatoes
Management of Nairobi City County should revert back to NMS.....
Saizi ndo unajua maneno ya NMS yet members of your useless tribe were singing the song Hatupangwingwi to other Kenyans. Stop being hypocrites🤔🤔🤔🤔
What has the national government done? This is a national disaster
Where is the disaster management team@@constanceashikhwiliayuku-a5059

Thank you Lynn,for talking on our behalf 😢😢 This is heartbreaking 💔💔

Utakula dimples maybe manager can manage situations God help
@@pendo6 I hope next time they will vote wisely
Governor Sakaja must resign, Period!!! He has failed to demonstrate leadership by being visible and accessible to those who are affected. He has failed to Communicate with the public on DAILY TIMELY updates, safety instructions, and evacuation orders. He has failed to ensure that the Disaster Management fund is accessible to those who are affected and in need of assistance.
Avoid blaming sakaja blame your landlords wako wapi kwanza
@@pharicemuthoni4167 sasa landlord ako na pesa ya disaster management, mbona ukona akili ya sidechick wa Sakaja

@@stellahokworo3947we're human and sometimes we're not able to prevent disasters from happening. What matters though is how we react after disasters have occurred. As a leader, how has he reacted in the face of these floods?
My Kiamaiko people, God awape guidance and strength through this trying moment, we shall overcome this together 🤍🤍.
The reporter is doing awesome work,where can we send donations especially beddings
Sometimes i cry because of my problems. I have been jobless for quite sometime. But when i come across such a video, i whipe my tears that i have been shedding because of my situation, then i start crying fresh tears for the people in this situation. At least i have a "good" place to sleep. Dear Lord, have mercy on them
This is to heartbreaking 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭God atusaidiee
Where are all government representatives surely aki
Good question we can follow thru with…..Why and how to upgrade the collective wise-dom.
This is so devastating and the pain in their words ooh God help my nation ...mike sonko was rushing with his team to help people he was visible in such seasons and fire as well ❤❤
Good 👍 job Mr Robert I feel so sorry 😢 for all the families who have been affected in this situation and my condolences 💐 to those who lost their loved ones in this floods
Thumbs up LNN for airing this ❤❤ . This is an injustice , how can there be no urgent intervention from the government ?

May God comfort these families.
This is so sad 😢lynn thank you for the good job you are doing
Kenyans are managing themselves. Alafu nyinyi ndio mtaenda kupigia the same people kura 2027. Honestly, nyinyi ndio mlijiletea hizi shida. So Ruto fanya ile kitu na ufinye hawa wakenya vizuri. They will never learn.
kweli kabisaa
Wairimu has spoken alot of sense 💪
Lynn,you do more than mainstream media. You're a light bearer...
Lynn kindly stay safe , alit of people depend on this show, we love you Kenyans, praying for you all as a n nation., our redeemer lives, it shall be well kenya take heart.
Disaster management fund should help these needy Kenyans. May the Lord bless those who have reached others in these times of need.
Sakaja has already spent that money, with his counterparts
And now that the effects climate change are no longer a myth! , There also should be a special disaster preparedness department. As a country we need to be more proactive and less reactive. I personally hold a degree in disaster preparedness and environmental technology from Masinde University. We have skills that can help to prepare and mitigate these disasters. But there are no jobs for the trained professionals! So sad!
@@wainainarita6759 Let them give you the job. All the best.
I wrote this vlog during the Nairobi governor election Between Igathe and Sakaja. Someone just liked it a day ago so it appeared on my notification. I was not quite sure what I wrote but after rereading it, it appears I was foretelling something and was sport on about Sakaja. here it is Post written a year ago according to youtube: I was for Igathe but actually i did not mind Sakaja because i like both their ideas. The choices were not between sakaja Vs sonko or igathe vs sonko then i would have just one choice and worry about the other. Both igathe and sakaja really were on the same page of what realy needs to be done for nairobi. Their ideas were a carbon copy. But what sets them apart is one is a politician and the other a technocrat. The only issue i have with sakaja is he does not become a politician doing politician things. (Aka Waitiutu and many other governors who become fabulously wealthy during their governership). I just hope sakaja does not get captured by the system of compromise and favors like kidero and sonko who both became fabulously wealthy after their governorship to the point whereby kidero had 16 personal accounts used to syphone county funds and the courts refused for the DCI for kidero to make them public. Thats how money buys the courts. As for Sonko no one knows his sources of income but he too is a shady fellow. Nairobi is like running a fortune 500 company. it needs to be run like the private sector with good systems, a competent team in all departments. Without that Nairobi will remain with the same problems it has. I for one i wish he could have a CEO, CFO, and a CTO. What if he brought Igathe to be the CEO to bring in his private sector experience. A Chief financial Officer from the private sector and a Chief technology Officer like the Asian guy who was a candidate for governor. Without a good team Nairobi is going nowhere unless you have the right people in place.
It's fascinating to look back at your insights from a year ago, especially considering recent events. Your observations about Sakaja and Igathe's similarities in ideas, but differences in background, were quite prescient. The emphasis on the need for competent leadership and a well-rounded team to run Nairobi effectively remains relevant. It's a testament to the importance of foresight and understanding the dynamics of governance.
I come from the startup background for many years in the US, having co-founded one (that grew pretty fast) as CTO. So your point of a CEO, CFO & CTO resonated, which is why I liked your comment a year later and replied with a 👀 emoji. But I think what Sakaja needs most, is a COO. NMS was that COO. When he kicked them out, I got the impression of someone who doesn't know he has weaknesses and therefore needs to surrounds himself with competent people that cover his gaps, or actually knows about them but they would get in the way of his misuse of resources.
@@KenyaTrendingNewsChannel I also dont think the establishment is happy with Sakaja. At a recent function that both the President and Dp attended, the Dp in addressing the fake certificates issue in the civil service. He said. Mr. President not only do we have people working in Govt having fake certificates, but also people seating here with us have also fake certificates. And guess who was also at the podium, Governor Sakaja. I don't think the DP would have made such a statement knowing very well Sakaja had or still has issues with his academic qualifications. The Dp would have confined the fake certificate issue to the civil service but his statement seems to be broad and not just confined to the civil service and I believe this was deliberate by the DP meant to even include Sakaja has having a fake certificate; indirectly sending a message to him that they are not happy with his stewardship of Nairobi. In politics optics and what you say have an indirect meaning. Sakaja may have also fallen out in favor with the administration. Even UDA mp's have come out speaking against their displeasure with Sakajas governance.
@@panafrican.nation Thanks for the clarity. I was just amused that someone could remember a post yrs ago and like it. Thanks once again.
Ii don't know if we will ever get the right people to work in this county coz the right people like Igathe can't stand and survive the politics of Nairobi county .They will just resign in the shortest time possible .
The reporter is doing a great job,i like the way he talks.The fluency.This is really so sad,God please come to our aid.Even if i can't help,may God provide helpers.

Perfect reporting here, congratulations LNN and crew. God bless you
Well done team LNN for this coverage despite the devastation 😢. Reporter n camera + editing is on point. Hopefully those in authority will reach out and do what they are supposed to do.
Elect clowns, enjoy the circus. Sakaja's biggest worry now is his properties in Dubai with the heavy rains. No Kenyan should blame a politician. We elected people with questionable character and qualifications from the bottom to the top.
The audacity to remain incognito in the midst of this calamity just proves how incompetent and culpable he is. Accountability is a rarity. Smh...
Kenyans did not elect Kenya Kwanza clowns; it's Chebukati who sold the elections to the highest bidder! Why do you think Dictator Ruto is not interested in having the IEBC servers opened for auditing?
I didn't vote for any
we are stupid to elect them,i blame us,tulijua it was wash wash politics sasa ona,tumetenga tumepangua and all those crap,renovate the state house ,hii na bado 2027 tutadanganyua tuu en we will vote coz of 1k which we will get.

It's high time kenyans realize it's them and only them to help themselves,the problem we have is depending on politicians..no lasting amount of help a politician can give to over 30,000 affected households,be it food or shelter,it's just for a day or two....let's wake up kenyans,i really pity those who have their rural areas up with huge chunks of land for agriculture but kuenda kuteseka tao in the name of hawawezi kaa ushago😢yet wanateseka nairobi ata kuliko venye angeteseka ushago..it's your life and not someone else's..if you thought grass would be greener in nairobi and have tried for 10+yrs in the mabati houses yet no change,kindly if you have ushago go back and restructure yourself,lima ata kama unaishi nyumba ya udongo,ile time utajiskia fiti kidogo kurudi tao get a deceny house atleast😢for those who don't have where to go just continue pushing,it's you vs you,we'll continue to pray for those affected bt rem politicians won't help you

Thank you for airing this😢 Coz even national tv just do shallow news in this. And yet its a disaster 😢
A Government that does not care of its people during disaster is better than nothing.....
Nairobi has always been flooding even before sakaja. I dont think changing some things is that easy when you are governor. It needs many people not just one hand. Nbi has so many problems that cant b solved all at ago. We have cartels too and sabotage. Pesa za disaster ni kama zilikulwa. Watu wahame from riparian land but govt iwaonyeshe pa kuhamia na iwape food and security
Yes floods are everywhere but at the moment he should have just provide some help,like food medication and a place to shelter even if it's a school.b4

He should at least know emergency response. Not an excuse.
Since schools have offered to host this people...the least this governor could do is come to the ground,give psychological support,give food na mattresses and small blankets...vitu tu basic..I'm sure that's not too much to ask to ask from him
Do You know Eric , he saved many peoples , the same day niliona sakaja na smile akisalimia watu

I think sakaja thought this nairobi governor office is a kindergarten playground he gets there, and he has no idea what to do. So since we are here, can he just go home. Let nairobi people get a serious person who understands the assignment.
It's the whole administration from top,Ruto all the way, clueless gorvement!
