Kenyans were on Thursday engaged in various heated discussions on social media platforms with the major topic of discussion being the floods that have been experienced in most parts of the country.
The county government of Kajiado on Thursday resolved to close all schools in the county due to the destructive floods after one pupil perished in Kiserian while going to school.
On the trending topic, "Kajiado", journalists shared the news while netizens gave a myriad of reactions to the floods.
Here are some of the posts that were shared.
Social media users used the hashtag to vent their frustrations over flooding in a majority of the city's residential and commercial areas.
Commentators shared photos and video clips of the worst-hit areas while others used the opportunity to blame Governor Mike Sonko for not acting fast enough to improve drainage systems within the city.
In response, Governor Sonko apologised to city residents while accusing the previous regime of embezzling funds that had been allocated to the repairs.
"I am shocked that some Sh10 billion set aside by the previous administration for unblocking the drainage system did not go to the intended use but ended up in the pockets of some unscrupulous characters.
"I am putting them on notice that these monies must be recovered through sweat and toil and put to good use for Nairobi residents," a statement from the Governor read in part.
Here are some of the comments that were shared on the hashtag.
The Israel city of Tel Aviv was one of Kenya's trending topics on Thursday after former President Daniel Moi was discharged from the city's Ichalov Hospital.
