kenyans never cease to amaze me. today as me and my team of 5 spent the whole day making channels to drain water from our plot and environs, . neighbours who passed by the road saw what were doing and could not keep quiet. some said "oh, so youv'e decided to fight with nature", some said it was useless work, some said they won't join us because it is the work of the government(they will wait for the government to come and fix) but the ones who got me well, are the ones who upon seeing us sweating ourselves off shovelling mud and digging while in calf deep stagnant waters, they laughed like they had never before. i still cannot they laughed at us.

Nairobi, the land of cool waters, has reclaimed its name back. Mother nature is refilling her reserves kwa mpigo. The problem is that the planners 4got that rivers know their course, and they will always fight for their space savagely.

[bmukeri]

After the rains Murkomen will be back in blaming Uhuru

[Lovecoffe-ii]

This is Mother Nature please no one to blame it happen is sad some lost their families and everything we are all feeling it and shocked let us all stand by each other and encourage each other and show compassion we all love Kenya sorry may god bless Kenya🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🌄🤍❤️❤️

Harvesting this water should be primarily incorporated in urban development projects countrywide! No more drought! No more deaths by floods! The Kenyan government needs to rise up to the occasion! Watu ni kipiga domo tuuu! Mafi ya kuku! to all corrupted officials!

[dhirajshah]

We are left to pay huge the debt for the infrastructure development 😢😢 still after the destruction by floods 🙏

[obarelida]

even Kenyans stop throwing rubbish everywhere! we blame government but we could also help by taking responsibility

[alphabetagama]

The magnitude of floods were amplified by the poor drainage system along all roads in Nairobi!

Many roads stay incomplete until they are destroyed then a new contract is signed! This goes cycles

[sophianasiekukatampoi]

Poleni, government cannot save from the wrath of mother nature.

[florencemondo]

I love Kenyans. You block all drainage with plastics and all manner of trash??
Where do you all expect the water to pass.

[motherofthegreatlakes]

From Tuesday to Sunday? Poleni sana. Tunaomba Mungu asaidiye Kenya. WaKenya nabapenda pia. Rafiki zangu, Kendi, Susan, P.M Barrington Naomba Mungu asaidiye.

Blessings

[markgeorge]

[Steve-ms]

[kukuzambawazambanga]

I, ve observed one thing on thika highway mitaro ziko ndio lakini zote ziko empty maji yote iko katikati ya Barabara hivi hiyo mitaro ni ya nini urge all road contructors to tilt all roads slyty ndivyo maji ielekee kwa those empty mitaros
in the estates tilt all Barabaras to one side with mitaros and zero dumping izingatiwe heavy fine for dumping ovyio ovyio should be introduced

[elfasaluda]

Why this water the not going two the police station why

[abdulqadiralyan]

This is a global disaster no nation can control.imagine a rich nation like Dubai and still couldn't escape the situation.

[DakorTrony]

Pesa billions inaibiwa na kenha staffs. They build bogus roads . Visits kenha staffs homes and they live like kings

[ndegwawarukira]

The unfortunate thing is, after the rains, the government will take no action to re- design the roads on the areas affected. Another unfortunate thing is, after this rains, we may experience long drought and this water should be harvested so that this water can be useful during the drought situation
