‘We have been forgotten’ Maai Mahiu floods tragedy victims tell of broken promises

https://nation.africa/ Exactly one year ago, Maai Mahiu town in Nakuru County woke up to a nightmare that forever altered its history.

A water-filled gulley that was holding water from heavy rains collapsed in the middle of the night, catching locals in the escarpment town off guard.

The floodwaters tore through Kamuchiri, Jerusalem and Ruiru villages as people slept, sweeping away homes, farms and businesses.

By the time the waters receded, Maai Mahiu had become a wasteland.
