The Chief Officer of Disaster Management reiterated the government's commitment to minimising disruptions for Nairobians during this challenging period.
The residents questioned the selective nature of the evacuations, pointing out disparities in treatment between slum dwellers and other residents facing similar risks.
The government must also take care of its people beyond issuing cautionary statements.
County Coordinator Daud Ahmed noted that with the River Tana flooding, more water could flow to parts of Garissa and Tana River counties.
Gitonga's house is almost entirely submerged in water, forcing him to move his family to a tent as he contemplates where next to move.
The government says the programme will specifically target flood victims and allocations will be made on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring immediate relief for those most in need.
The assessment from the county also revealed that three villages in Kamukunji have reported diarrhoea cases.
KeNHA cautioned that the river is nearing overflow, posing a danger to road users.
138 camps have been set up to accommodate people living in flood-prone areas including 33 in various parts of Nairobi.
Floodwaters from River Tana which burst its banks have also affected Galbet and Iftin wards, where institutions housing internally displaced persons have been partially marooned.
This caution follows a similar advisory from the Met Department on Thursday, warning of the probability of heavy rainfall and strong winds persisting until Monday.
The floods have claimed the lives of over 200 individuals, displaced over 200,000, and resulted in significant damage to property and infrastructure.
Precautionary measures include relocating residents from flood-prone areas along riverbanks to safer locations ahead of expected heavy rains.
The state has also given those residing on the riparian land 24 hours to vacate failure to which they will be evacuated forcefully on Saturday.
Kindiki noted that mandatory evacuation orders would be implemented between 6.30 am and 6 pm.
The water company apologised to customers for any inconvenience caused by the disruption.
The onset of floods caught many residents off guard, particularly those living along the riverbanks.
20 more people have been reported missing, raising the number of those unaccounted for to 90.
Among the bridges slated for reconstruction are the Huruma-Gateway bridge, Ngumba Bridge, Ngomongo, Githathuru footbridge, Kiambui to City Carton, and Kiambiu to Jericho.
