Have the authorities failed the residents of Nairobi?

In other news, a section of Kenyan leaders demanded an independent audit to determine the cause of the floods that killed at least 27 people in Nairobi.

Led by National Liberal Party (NLP) leader Augustus Muli and former presidential candidate Reuben Kigame, the leaders said that an investigation needs to be conducted and those behind the failed drainage systems and flood management held accountable.

Kigame said that natural disasters such as floods happen, but the magnitude of the bad floods in Nairobi already showed the failure of the county, the national government and the agencies tasked with mitigating the effects of disasters.
