I live in Utawala around Airways shopping center in Nairobi, the rains this April have really stagnated some of us, there were no matatus to town and you couldn't walk safely without sliding on mud or getting stuck in the middle of a road turned river. I was outside trying to find my way to a shop early morning for breakfast, there were people on one side who were calculating how to cross to the other side, a nduthi guy was too desperate to think first, he just plunged into the waters to cross riding his nduthi, for a moment we thought he could make it, he made it half way then I think he hit a rock or something, his nduthi capsized throwing him into the waters, fast moving waters which swept him and his nduthi away, we tried to follow safely but the water was just too much, we found out later that his body was found under a bridge at Embakasi flyover. It was sad.
