The current rainy season has demonstrated how unprepared the nation is. While rain is a blessing, its not proper that people

lose their lives because of rain. There have been floods and people have drowned in various parts of the country.

Rain is not a surprise as

The Met Department usually gives us advance notice. It is important that there be planning to ensure that flooding doesn't occur and that

the water is harvested to prevent situations where flooding precedes dry conditions. The government should build dams to store this water.

If you have means, it's advisable to get tanks so that you can store water during this time.

Rain is a blessing but we get to a point where we ask God

is flooded and you're waiting for a solution, the council will be nowhere in sight.

Now let's go to Mombasa Road where lives were lost at

Salama and a number of people injured in an accident involving a bus and a truck.

I always say that there are no lives and mini-lives.
