A heavy rain that pounded Athi River sub county on Wednesday evening and Thursday has caused damage to property.
This is according to Deputy County Commissioner Kodeck Makori who said the situation was getting worse hence need for urgent intervention.
Speaking to this reporter at his Athi River office on Friday, Makori said many people had been affected by the ongoing rains in the sub county.
Mr Makori said by the time of going to press, four cows had been swept away by floods, roofs of two houses blown off by wind and several houses submerged rendering residents homeless.
He said most property had been lost to the floods sweeping along Rivers Athi and Mto wa Mawe which are low areas hence prone to flooding.
Mr Makori said it was difficult to control the situation given that some of the affected areas were very flat prompting river waters to lose their courses thereby flooding everywhere.
He said bridges and roads had also been swept away making hampering transport.
Mr Makori called on residents to be careful as the rains are expected to continue asserting that each person should be cautious of own safety and security to avoid more loses of lives and property.
