A chain is placed on the gate of Baby Pendo Botanical Park, with its identification sign reportedly removed during an alleged overnight incident involving an individual claiming ownership of the land. Kisumu Governor Prof. Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o vowed to protect the public facility, questioning why ownership claims had emerged only after the county government transformed the former Kachok dumpsite into a botanical park. #Kisumu

🚨 HEAVY RAINS AND STORMS DAMAGE PROPERTY IN KISUMU AS EL NIÑO CONCERNS GROW

🌧️ KISUMU, KENYA — A brief but intense storm swept through Kisumu on Thursday evening, October 8, reportedly causing significant damage to buildings, roads, and other property.

The storm, which lasted less than 30 minutes, reportedly tore off rooftops, brought down trees and billboards, and caused sections of walls to collapse. Parked vehicles were also damaged, while fallen branches affected power lines and left debris scattered across several roads.

The incident has renewed concerns about the impact of severe weather, particularly as fears of an approaching El Niño period grow.

Residents are urged to remain alert during storms, avoid fallen power lines, and keep away from weakened walls and damaged structures.

Dr Oburu Oginga in an interview with the _Nation_ : I have been sick and was admitted on Sunday the previous week but was discharged on Thursday last week. I felt sick again on Saturday night after playing golf in Kisumu and was admitted that night before being discharged on Monday. As of now I’m at home, feeling better and people should avoid a lot of speculation on my health. #kisumu
