Residents Blame Machakos Leaders as Floods and Heavy Trucks Render Muting’a Road Impassable Residents from Graceland Tuthuli, Utumishi, Pioneer and Afya Sacco estates in Muting’a, Machakos County are calling out what they describe as complete abandonment by their elected leaders in the face of worsening road conditions that have turned deadly. They say years of neglect by the County Government of Machakos, under Governor Wavinya Ndeti, and silence from elected representatives such as Mwala MP Hon. Vincent Musyoka (popularly known as Stephen Mule) and MCA Raphael Nzuki, have left the area exposed to both physical danger and economic losses. What was once a key community access route has now become a muddy, uneven stretch, badly damaged by floods and continuous movement of heavy trucks and tippers collecting raw materials from nearby sites. Patching efforts funded by local resident associations is repeatedly undone within days by the trucks, which residents claim are prioritized at the expense of small vehicles and emergency services. One resident recounted a recent tragedy, in which a woman lost her life after an ambulance failed to access the nearest health facility on time due to the condition of the road. The county, which continues to collect cess and other levies from the road users, has reportedly made no effort to repair the road or upgrade the poorly constructed bridges. Community members say tribal politics have also crept into the matter, alleging that because many of the road users are property owners perceived to be non-Kamba, leaders have suggested they shoulder the cost of building the road themselves. A peaceful demonstration is scheduled for Saturday, 26 April 2025, during which residents say they plan to voice their frustrations and demand urgent intervention.

Rongjiang County Flooded Twice in One Week — Devastation Spreads Across Guizhou, China. I’m just leaving here with this update 👇 Rongjiang County, Guizhou Province, China — Between June 24 and June 29, Rongjiang endured back-to-back floods that devastated the region, disrupted daily life, and triggered mass evacuations. 🔹 June 24: The first wave of flooding paralyzed Rongjiang. Roads were cut off, the city came to a standstill, and communities were trapped by rising waters. 🔹 June 26: Things took a turn for the worse as an upstream reservoir released floodwaters. The surging river overflowed into the city, inundating streets and homes. 🔹 June 28: As residents began cleanup, thinking the danger had passed, torrential rains returned. Within just 7 minutes, a second flood swept through the city. Alarms rang, evacuation orders were issued, and chaos ensued as people fled on foot and by vehicle. It was the second flood in less than a week. 🔹 June 29: As waters finally receded, residents came back to heartbreaking scenes: streets buried in thick mud, furniture and cars swept away, and neighborhoods left in ruins. In older, narrow streets, people were seen hauling out silt on their backs — with no machines able to enter. 📍 The disaster extended far beyond the city center. Villages across Rongjiang and nearby Leishan County were also hit hard. In Leishan, first floors were submerged within two hours. Officials reported 6 deaths, but local accounts suggest the actual toll could be higher
