Thousands of residents in Kiambu's Kiambu Estate, Kenya, have been affected by floods caused by rising water levels in Lake Naivasha. The water level has reached unprecedented levels, leading to the lake's expansion since 2020. Among other lakes in the Rift Valley, water levels have also been steadily rising. The number of families displaced by the Lake Naivasha floods has exceeded 4,000, with fears that the number could rise further as heavy rains continue in Nakuru County. According to Joyce Sisi, head of disaster management in Naivasha, the lake's water level has risen sharply in the past three months, flooding homes, schools, churches, and a police station. She stated that a multi-agency response team has been formed to assist affected residents, many of whom have been forced to relocate to nearby areas. The floods have reignited the debate over land ownership around Lake Naivasha, where environmental experts warn that unregulated human settlement near riverine areas continues to expose residents to repeated displacement whenever the lake's water level rises.
