Edwin Sifuna has come under heavy criticism from Nairobi residents after floods swept through the county, killing more than 10 people, leaving eight others missing, and destroying homes and other properties.
Residents say the senator should take responsibility for the poor state of infrastructure that made the flooding worse.
Many argue that the roads and drainage systems in Nairobi have been neglected, which contributed to the disaster.
A section of locals accused Senator Sifuna of focusing on political rallies instead of addressing urgent community needs.
“We elected him as our senator to make sure the Governor does his job and that the roads and drainage are in good condition, not to hear chants about politics,” one resident said.
Others added that instead of performing his duties in the Senate and overseeing the welfare of Nairobians, Senator Sifuna has been busy organizing rallies and speaking about plans to make President William Ruto a one-term president.
The residents said these political ambitions are of no benefit to them as they continue to face daily challenges caused by flooding.
The calls from residents show a growing frustration, urging the senator to prioritize the safety and wellbeing of Nairobians over political campaigns.
