KENYA: Mitaa mbalimbali ya Jiji la Nairobi yafunikwa kwa maji yaliyotokana na mafuriko yaliyosababishwa na mvua kubwa iliyonyesha katika mji huo
> Hali hiyo imebainisha ubovu wa miundombinu ya maji katika Jiji hilo ambalo pia ni makao makuu ya nchi hiyo. Wananchi wameshindwa kwenda kazi na kufanya baadhi ya shughuli kutokana na kadhia hiyo
> Bei za usafiri zimepanda juu kutokana na uhitaji mkubwa wa huduma hiyo. Mabasi ya abiria maarufu kama Matatu yamekuwa yakitoza Shilingi 100 za Kenya(sawa na Tsh. 2244) tofauti na shilingi 50(sawa na Tsh. 1122) iliyozoeleka

Dozens of Nairobi dwellers were on Thursday stuck following heavy rains that pounded the city at dawn.
But others could not leave their houses as the flood waters had already spread to many parts of the city.
"Siwezi toka kwa nyumba (I can't leave home). The rain is too much and I fear for my health and life," a resident told the Star.
The situation has exposed the poor state of drainage systems in Kenya's capital. The governor earlier said City Hall was prepared for the rains.
Buses and matatus were forced to go through the estates to pick the pedestrians who were stranded.
"The only thing moving is the waters of the famous Aga Khan River," a Nairobian joked.
Matatu operators in some routes raised the fares two-fold. Some people were charged Sh100 instead of the normal Sh50.
Cart pullers made a kill as they helped people cross the flooded streets. Some people were forced to part with Sh100 to be carted.
"The latest news, floods in Nairobi Mkokoteni guys charging Sh100 to cross you over. Hope @MikeSonko benefits from that. Sonko simply failed."
"But Nairobi is survival, you survive the floods on our roads only to find that your means of public transport is leaking or should I say raining. There's a chance you will get to work soaked from head to toe,"
''River crossing Bunyala Rd is overflowing & impassable, Issa river [sic], use alternative route,"
Last week, the weatherman said the country will experience heavy rains that may cause floods in low lying areas.
The agency predicted that floods will hit the country on Friday and Sunday.
"Rainfall is expected to continue over most parts of the country. Heavy rainfall may be experienced over parts of Central, Western, North Eastern and South Eastern areas."
They warned that the rains would cause floods in low-lying areas and urban centres with poor drainage systems.
