The government has been urged to build dykes along River Nyamasaria to control perennial flooding, especially during the rainy season. Businessman and Kisumu Central politician Joshua Oron said dykes should be part of the long-term strategies to control floods and prevent disaster in Nyalenda. Oron said bigger and stronger dykes should be constructed to offer a permanent solution to floods, which normally occur when River Nyamasaria bursts its banks. A total of 300 households were affected after River Nyamasaria broke its banks following heavy rains in the past two weeks. “My campaign is purely based on ideologies and issues affecting the people of Kisumu Central,” he said.
