- It's been a month since floods swept through Kenya. More than 290 people died and some 200,000 were displaced. The devastation hit one community after another, and so did the helplessness and anger, as it emerged the government was aware the floods were coming and set aside funds for a response but did not act sufficiently. Still the affected people are trying to pick up the pieces, as DW's Mariel Müller reports.

It’s awful. The Deputy President forced the Met Director to apologise publicly for predicting floods last year. They think Kenyans are foolish.
My Heart and Prayers are with you.
This sort flooding events are becoming common. Globally people have builty in unsafe areas. We build cities in floodplains, displacing fertile fields. We encourage flooding by making the ground hard for rain to penetrate.
We can fix it but it takes unity and courage and great compassion
I'm so blessed and grateful to live where I do. Bless the people of Kenya, God they need you right now
Kenia is a corrupt country, blessings are never showered in such cases. Ever heard of the resource curse?
God is useless
Ok Dan Cooper. Hope youre alive and still enjoying the money
This is heartbreaking. Prayers for the people if Kenya.
The government does not know what it is doing and needs to help.
So sorry to witness this
I hate William Ruto with his private jets and lavish life while people live in squalor. The worst part is that he's lording it over the people courtesy of the U.S. govt who facilitated his rigging into office. We condemn America in the strongest possible terms. We want credible elections to choose transformative leaders instead of having the worst among us imposed upon us.
No one is imposed on you. It's YOUR society and your government. To blame an outside society's for internal failures is part of your problem of lack of citizen responsibility and seriousness.
@@tbex613 Explain to foolish me how poor people can rise up against the billions that America uses to fund their puppets unless we go the Haiti way. If America really wants to help, why not insist on transparent elections? Why not tie IMF loan conditions to proper governance? Who ultimately gains when poor African countries are mismanaged and looted if not America?
Dont blame America for your utterly worthless leaders.
@@tbex613 people unironically chose capitalism and liberal democracy, then proceed to act surprised when it goes exactly the way it is supposed to go.
@@judithokemwa2807you speak like a small child, stand up and be an adult and fight so your kids have a brighter future. All over the world every one of us who were born into unfair circumstances has had to fight for what we have. You sound broken, but I offer you a small word of encouragement and love as one person to another. You have to fight for justice and a rule of law, it has never been given freely. Blaming others or expecting people from the other side of the planet to solve your local problems will only leave you with more problems and no solutions.
😢
Gone to the new governers manson.
Itb looks like a shanty town
Still better than indian towns right
DW, what happened in Reasi last week?
where?
They suck!
“The government you elect is the government you deserve.”
― Thomas Jefferson
Bingo!! People don't like to admit this, but it's 100% true.
Right.. SO many underdeveloped countries are OVERFLOWING with GREAT options to choose from?! Crook who embezzles & is violent. Crook who embezzles & is absent. Crook who embezzles, acts present yet does 0⃣ for any1 outside his immediate circle, flaunting it in front of the destitute masses.
Surely ONE of those candidates would really 'turn things around' - right?! 😒 SUCH hubris, naivety, ignorance, insensitivity & disconnection: 100% admit the true value of EITHER of ur character. Find & consume truck loads of humble pie ASAP! If, of course, u can possibly find a way down from ur superior positions.
That can be true in a democracy. But what happens if you live in Russia, where are you Don’t get to vote for the president? And increasingly, it’s happening in the United States, where we may not get to vote for our president of choice in this election due to a Democrat activist judge.
In Africa people put themselves in power
Anyone else thrown by his name being Kevin?
I wish I was named Kevin.
Colonialism
does kenyan people live in keynesian economics?
yes they does
Kenya 🇰🇪 trending 😢😢😢
What devastation?
Meanwhile the president is all over the place lecturing foreign nations about Ukraine and the Middle East
Its so much more than floods.. This government is pickpocketing Kenyans
Most likely ruto was in Switzerland minding others business instead of his citizens... When are we going to learn
Yenyewe hawa leaders are arguing about leadership instead of focusing on how local government can compensate to wananchi to rebuild their homes. Funds should be available to compensate families all affected by floods. Your current leaders, do not elected them again for not assisting all people at this time of serious need all through floods affected areas in Kenya.
HARP ?
This is what happens when u choose not to educate your people, A earthquake is also on its way.
Stop making children during the Collapse. It's beyond cruel.
Stop being unsympathetic
I thought the children's smiles dispite the situation set a good example for us all.
@@eliharp3576 Smile while you suffer? Wow, what an example.
@@eliharp3576 Ridiculous. These children are suffering. They have no hope. Only a heartless person could delude themselves into believing that smiling for the camera means anything about their reality.
@@CollosalTrollge Sympathy isn't damning the next generation to suffer what's coming for anyone unlucky enough to be forced to endure it.
From the video you can see where the problem is, he is still digging on reparian land, acting ealier would involve evicting them ealier, i am sure they wouldn't leave. Its unfortunate but it's between a rock and a hard place
🌬📢 💨 😔
I mean the govt really has no incentive to warn anyone. If only property is destroyed and the people survive, there is a chance they will end up going to europe. and kenya is getting plenty of money to prevent that. plus the govt will just change after 5 years anyway so its not like they need to spend much money for the relief effort.
Ruto and kk ni matope tupu
Sewage ata
As he was 3500 feet above the ground on a private jet heading to foregn lands,our president gave promises as usual and sweared by luwenzoris and north dakota mountains goat and all alive cayotes in mexico and Venezuela that he will make sure all victims have received 75$ each as compensation and that rain be held accountable 🤣🤣.
Mnakaa na the same place mnamwaga taka taka 😂😂 alafu mnasema serikali , nyie Pia ni serikali mfagie na mjitaarishe wakati wa mvua. Jifunzeni kutoka majuu, mambo ya usafi SiO tu mnajifunza mambo ya LGTB😡😡😡😡😡 majirani wanafagia na ku take care ya sehemu zao.
And the West must save the people. Again
President Ruto, the same people you are working hard trying impose thier ideology to Kenya are now giving your governance bad publicity in the international media. At least the Chinese don't do that.
DW now meddling in Kenyan interior affairs 😅😅
Well, atleast Germany gave Kenya 1 Mil Euros. Perhaps they should follow up how that money was allocated?
so where's the so called "global south" i keep hearing about n the DW news comment section to come to Kenya's help?
OMG where are the west the saviour of the world?
The west has more problems in there country and the people are demanding help too, and they're still waiting,
