In addition, Raila accused the president of sleeping on his job despite the early warnings issued by the Kenya Meteorological Department.
“Watu wanakufa, sasa wanasema watu sitini tayari wamekufa kwa mambo hii ya mafuriko lakini hawa majamaa wanalala kwa kazi. Yeye anakaa kule anajaribu kulaumu magavana lakini magavana hawajapewa pesa ya kuangalia hii maneno ya mafuriko, jamaa wanalala kwa kazi, Ruto alisema hakuna El Nino, imekuja haijakuja?” he posed.
