• The Nairobi residential area of Lurambi MP Titus Khamala was marooned by floods following the heavy rains in the county
• However, in a video he shared on his TikTok account, Khamala who was armed with buckets and basins, said he was very ready for the floods
• The weatherman had earlier alerted Kenyans to expect heavy rains with thunderstorms and strong winds the whole of May

Lurambi MP Titus Khamala was not spared by the ongoing floods in the country. Khamala's Nairobi home was flooded with water.

The MP was forced to use basins and buckets to sweep the floodwaters outside his compound.

"It's now official that my Nairobi residential home is submerged. The whole compound is flooded. The floods are finally here. Tuko ndani ya maji)" he said.

How is Khamala prepared for the rains?

The video showed Khamala using buckets to clear the compound.

He said he was prepared to tackle the water even as the weatherman warned of more rains in Nairobi and 19 other counties throughout May.

"The place is already flooded, and the rains are expected tonight. We cannot sleep when the situation is like this. One has to be ready for the water, armed with a basin and bucket," he added.

Why Khamala prefers Kakamega

Khamala appreciated his home in Kakamega which is less frequented by floods as the terrain is a bit hilly with stones.

People from Western should be lucky as such situations cannot happen as the places are a bit hilly. We have better places to thank God for," he said.
