Nairobians were on Monday left to wade through flooded streets as heavy Sunday overnight downpours wreaked havoc.
The rains which started on Sunday evening went on throughout the night, rendering several roads impassible.
Nairobi county workers were seen busy trying to unclog the drainage system to help drain all stagnant water.
Uncovered manholes were also seen filled with water, pausing a great danger to pedestrians who would easily fall into them.
Areas in which floods were experienced included sections of the Central Business District, Westlands, and Eastleigh among others.
From walkways, roads and drainages, all sides were flooded leaving no room for human movement.
The insufficiency of the drainage system becomes evident as the rains expose its dysfunctional state.
In January, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja revealed why dealing with floods in the city is an uphill task.
He said the city's drainage system has a fixed capacity.
