Janitors at the hospitals were forced to find a way to drain the contaminated water out as quickly as possible.
In Kilimani, floodwaters broke walls along Likoni Lane off Dennis Pritt Road and stormed into residents' homes.
The Kenya Meteorological Department had warned Kenyans to brace themselves for more heavy rainfall in the coming days, with predictions of heavy rains in Nairobi, Narok, Nakuru, Migori, and Kisumu.
