  1. Was this a case of cloud seeding?
    All these rains that caused floods are unusual. Similar to what happened in Dubai due to cloud seeding- which is not a secret.

  2. President ni jukumuwako kusngalia wakenya wote kushinda kilakitu ushuru pekee ndio gavament anaangalia watu atapoteza uhai mali kilakitu ata gavamet kuonekanawee

  3. Waaa, no medical supplies, food supplies, no drinking water for the victims. Certainly not the time to blame the victims. We must not ask toddlers and the elderly to "move to higher grounds" they're already surrounded by water, maybe helicopter airlift would make the move possible, right?

  4. HE DOESN'T CARE,STOP ASKING HIM,ITS EMBARRASSING, KENYANS ARE SUFFERING, KENYANS ARE CRYING, WHAT PLANS ,WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT,..MOTHERS AND CHILDREN ARE ON STUCK ON ROOFS ,KIDS HAVE NO FOOD,..
    HE IS NIT TELLING THE TRUTH,..MAY GOD REMEMBER KENYA.

  5. Mr President, lam very sorry for what you are going through. The problem you have caused to yourself is the wrong and dishonest people you appointed to assist you manage our beautiful Country.
    To Kenyans, for the sake our Country please let us continue Praying to the almighty God ,stay calm, keep peace, love and Unity . 🙏🙏

  6. He doesn't care about saving lives he is eyeing funds for reconstruction after the disaster who cares if kids are stuck in their houses? where are the rescue boats and helicopters? overloading of equipment that is privately owned is none o the government's business. Where is the equipment bought by Kenyan taxpayers sitting in the navy and military barracks?

  7. No president likes to do major changes because it costs a lot of money they cannot steal from, why not build proper homes, destroy slums za 1960 ?

  8. Who created the global environmental disaster ? Most developed countries like USA, Europe and China whom realise Co2 …..not African leaders. The journalist paid by Western Masters go and ask Biden.

  9. Ruto in his true element – all talk, and effectively EMPTY talk. Kenyans are on the ground. Instead of focusing on preparedness, he is busy preparing for post-flood reaction, on how to burry the dead and promise free lands for the affected…bla bla bla… Hopeless and regrettable!

  10. Tone deaf. The voice of incompetence. When there are protests,the government resources to counter them are very visible. When disaster hits,the silence of the Kenyan government is deafening. Sheer incompetence.
