"Let me take this opportunity to thank the almighty Allah for blessing us with rain after a long period of drought and send my heartfelt sympathies to the over 50 families that had properties destroyed and misplaced completely and the different insitutions like masalani sub county hospital and a number of schools.
"KPLC poles were affected too by the strong downpour and unfortunately Masalani is without electricity at the moment and would like to appeal to the relevant bodies for swift action.
