He divulged that over eight graves have been submerged by the waters.
"The recent one belongs to a granny who was interred last week amid the heavy rains. We had a hard time because removing water from the grave and had to bring soil to fill the grave from another place. The situation here is dire," Kamau said.
The rains also saw a house belonging to Jacinta Kamote, a widow and a mother of nine, collapse. She spent the night in the cold with seven of her kids whom she lives with.
This forced area residents and a local church to mobilize resources and start putting up a house for the distraught family.
Meanwhile, resident Ranges Wamunyu who doubles as an area local leader noted that the flooding menace has been a perennial problem in the village.
He noted that during heavy rains, flood waters usually displace locals and leave a trail of destruction.
Wamunyu averred that the only solution to the problem is digging a terrace to drain water from the village noting that there are no drainages in the village.
The residents pleaded with their leaders including Mang'u ward Mwangi Wamibira, MP Elijah Njoroge and Governor Kimani Wamatangi to hear their cries and address their plight.
"The county government has enough resources including machinery to construct proper drainage or dig the terrace to drain water from this village. We plead for our leaders' intervention," Wamunyu said.
They also pleaded for basic commodities including food and clothing for the affected families.
