A major drainage-cleaning campaign is progressing successfully across Kismayo District, as the local government continues efforts to improve water flow and prevent flooding during the rainy season.
The Kismayo Municipal Administration has deployed teams to clear and rehabilitate drainage channels throughout the district, ensuring that rainwater can flow freely and reducing the risk of waterlogging in residential areas and public spaces.
Officials say the ongoing initiative is part of the municipality’s broader commitment to enhancing urban sanitation, protecting public health, and strengthening the city’s resilience to seasonal rains.
The cleanup operation is expected to improve drainage infrastructure and minimize disruptions caused by stagnant water during periods of heavy rainfall.
Residents have welcomed the effort, noting that well-maintained drainage systems play a crucial role in keeping neighborhoods clean, accessible, and safe throughout the rainy season.
The Kismayo Municipality has reaffirmed its dedication to maintaining a clean and sustainable urban environment and has urged community members to support the campaign by avoiding the disposal of waste into drainage channels.
