At least 70 killed by flooding in Kenya, as more rain is expected

Flooding and heavy rains in Kenya have killed at least 70 people since mid-March, a government spokesperson said Friday, twice as many as were reported earlier this week.

The East African country has seen weeks of heavy rains and severe flooding in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, as well as in the country’s western and central regions. #kenya #flood #worldnews

The president leaves the country and goes overseas amidst a natural disaster, what is so important overseas or what kind of overseas engagement that is overwhelmingly important than staying in your country and providing leadership in a time of extreme need or what kind of meeting is so dire that the stakeholders would not understand if you cancel the trip or participate via something like zoom so that you don't leave the country in a time of need? The president has been advised that there is a high possibility that there is going to be heavy rainfalls that would cause a disaster and despite that he gets in the plane and leaves the country for foreign trips. Other leaders cancel or cut short their foreign trips, holidays overseas or any missions overseas to rush back into the country to provide leadership but not Ruto!

What foreign trip is so important not to be cancelled so that he's available to provide solutions to his country during a natural disaster?
The president leaves the country during a natural disaster, that's the kind of leadership you have in Kenya!! Even the other leaders are shocked that he's overseas doing meetings with them while his country is undergoing a serious natural disaster!!

In this case Ruto had several options but he chose the worst option! For example instead of leaving the country during a disaster, he should have something like a zoom meeting so that he can still participate in those meetings without leaving the country!

Ruto is a not a competent leader and he has failed Kenyans at every disaster not just this one as he seems to prefer to escape the country during the time of need! Ruto is the poster boy for poor and incompetent leadership!

What is it with this crazy weather? Is it weather tampering or weather manipulation?

Bet they call the US or US aid agencies to help! I wish I could answer the phone. I’d say “ I'm so sorry we’re all out of aid today, please call back in 10 years or if this an emergency please call Russia, have a nice swim, bye bye now “ !!!
