Nakuru County Governor Lee Kinyanjui has pledged to solve drainage problem in Naivasha Town.
Speaking when he toured the area on Sunday, Kinyanjui said his administration has already laid down plans to address the perennial problem.
"Plans are afoot to construct a modern drainage system that will ease flooding during the rainy seasons," he said.
The county boss observed that the burst sewer lines posed a health hazard to residents, promising to look into the infrastructural challenges of the town.
Kinyanjui blamed the current political stalemate over the fresh presidential election for the lack of crucial services in the devolved unit.
"Many functions or projects have either slowed down or stopped due to the political climate in the country which has delayed the allocation of funds to counties," the Governor added.
