Yesterday the government even allocated us a holiday to remember the thousands who have either lost their lives or livelihoods, and the millions affected one way or the other by ongoing floods. That said, we could have significantly reduced the floods impact had our governments been more proactive. I would be surprised if any significant emergency funds have been set aside across government, even though we knew this crisis was coming. I have seen outpouring of donations to those affected by floods from people giving from nothing. One hopes that this spirit will survive the floods and produce a kinder, more considerate Kenya.
