Kanifing Municipal Council and Partners Clear Drains

In preparation for the coming rainy season, the Kanifing Municipal Council (KMC) is collaborating with development partners to clear drains in the municipality. These efforts are aimed at mitigating floods and to protect disaster-prone areas. The Council has already cleared the following drains:

1. Kairaba Avenue

2. Jakaranda – GTTI

3. Buffer Zone – Tallinding Inside

4. Nawec – Paramilitary Mosque

5. Churchill Junction – Tallinding

6. Drains within Serrekunda Market

7. Drains within Latrikunda Sabiji Market

8. Bakau Farokono Exit Point

Meanwhile under the WACA Project the following areas were successfully cleared :

1. Dippa Kunda – Safideen

2. Safideen – Bakoteh Bridge

3. Kotu Manjai Road (both sides)

4. SOS Junction – Bakoteh Police Station

5. Latrikunda Yiri Nganya – Main Stream

6. Bakoteh Fish – Bridge

7. Dippa Kunda – Manjai

Additionally, the National Roads Authority (NRA) will clean other drains on main highways. To ensure the improvemt of resilience, the West Africa Coastal Areas project will also clear the Kotu Stream and procure six water pumping machines. KMC and its partners therefore urge residents to support this process and refrain from littering the drains.
