The ongoing heavy rains come as an embarrassment for the national government, as well as the county governments, judging by the destruction it continues to leave behind.
Despite warnings from the weatherman, the government appears not to have done much, which has resulted in displacements, deaths and destruction.
For instance, the government did not do much to sensitize citizens living in areas likely to experience landslides, hence the death of over 43 people in West Pokot a fortnight ago.
Its shameful and a show of poor disaster preparedness that two weeks later, the same continues to happen.
The latest such incident happened in Kiharu in Murang'a county where 12 were left homeless after landslides swept their homes away on Sunday.
Though the government has no power over natural happenings like rainfall, it was expected that by now, it would have dispatched the relevant authorities to ensure that all those living in dangerous places have left temporarily.
This points at a government not serious with the lives of her citizens, and officials not properly doing their job.
The same is the case with floods, which has rendered hundreds homeless in parts of Nyando in Kisumu and left behind traces of destruction and death in parts of Eastern Region.
Similarly, other counties across the country have recorded deaths of livestock, with roads and bridges being destroyed as well, bringing transport to a standstill in some parts.
For a serious government, it was expected that by now, precautions would have been taken and measures put in place to ensure that when the waters come, they are directed elsewhere.
This way, they can be put into proper use during the dry season.
But in Kitui, a dry county, rain waters continue to wreak havoc as they flow to waste, after which locals will be complaining of drought and inability to cultivate crops.
County governments have also openly shown their poor disaster management, with rain waters flooding roads, including in Nairobi, resulting in transport hardships.
This comes as a shame, and a clear show that the relevant county officials didn't find it necessary to have waterways cleared despite warnings from the met.
It shows that we still have a long way to go, as a country, to face such heavy rains and similar intense weather conditions come out without losses.
Consequently, Kenyans are looking forward to hunger, given that the rains have also swept away crops in some of the parts the country.
The stagnant water will also leave crops in farms rotten by the end of it, meaning that what is supposed to be a blessing is slowly turning into more of a curse.
