    Floodwaters have filled many streets in Kenya’s capital, #Nairobi, as a result of heavy rains. The downpour has been a ‘nightmare’ for thousands of commuters headed to work. Are you in Nairobi? Have you been affected by the rain? Photos: Simon Maina, AFP #NairobiRains #Rainpic.twitter.com/nhrC7hxJSY

        I'm in Nairobi,the heavy rains have shown how poor our drainage systems are and the unpreparedness of our relevant institutions for such avoidable calamities.

        Could this be due to poor drainage system or the rains simply pouring beyond normal level. Just left Nairobi last Saturday and it was drizzling all day everyday

        Kenya need "Josephs the slave guy" and "listening pharaohs" in places of influence to address disasters before they happen.
