During the recent heavy rains that have hit the Kenya, dangerous trends are emerging. As new projects are coming to an end, serious doubts are emerging at to whether the construction by the Chinese contractors has taken drainage systems into account. Some travelers snapped some photos of the recent floods which can be attributed to lack of a good drainage system. Here are some of the photos and you decide whether this is safe.

Here are some of the comments regarding the floods…

@CKirubi ”Nairobi drainage is just pathetic. The floods just show the weakness of our infrastructure.”

“In a conversation with a Chinese,we were paid to build roads and not drainage,vy complain? #Nairobifloods

 Whenever it rains a bit in Nairobi ….. there are “floods” ….
People blaming Chinese contractors for Thika road floods yet they have limited knowledge on how Nairobi‘s geography is to blame.
