Heavy rains on Wednesday evening, September 10, 2025 caused significant flooding in Eldoret City, disrupting businesses, traffic, and daily activities. Roads like Nandi Road were impassable, with vehicles struggling through deep water, particularly outside Naivas Supermarket at Kitmatt Centre.

• Eldoret's infrastructure, designed decades ago for a population of a few thousand, now serves over 500,000 residents and suffers from poor drainage.
• Residents expressed strong discontent on social media, blaming the floods on poor drainage and urging county authorities to address the issue.
• Kenya's capital, Nairobi, also experiences severe flooding due to poor drainage, with Geoffrey Mosiria, Chief Officer for Environment, citing improper building construction over rivers like River Kibagare as a contributing factor.
