The rainy season is on.

The much unwanted rainy season by Nairobians is on and a little early this season.

This time the rains have began on middle of February unlike earlier on when it stars to pour at around March. Considering that this is the long rains season it is becoming a nightmare for most city residents to swallow this bitter truth.

Those from the eastern part of the city who are the majority hate this season because of the shortcomings brought about by it. Most who work at the industrial area rely on the public transport.

Some commute as far as from Kariobangi to make it to work before 8am. Now with this rain the bus fare keeps on escalating with a lot of uncertainty. At one time the bus fare can hike from 20 bob to 200 bob depending with the rains.

For a female employee who is married and two children, she has to wake in the wee hours to prepare for the day. According to Anne Kwamboka, who lives at Umoja estate, “I have to be up by 4am. Prepare packed lunch for my girls first born class three and the second class one.”

“At around 5am I have to wake the girls and shower them as they prepare for school. Thirty minutes later everyone is ready having taken breakfast. Am lucky because my daughters school at Umoja primary where my husband is a librarian.”

During the rainy season, traffic jams in the city can take hours without moving as everyone is in the rush. This trickles down the ladder causing even the innocent kids their sleep as illustrated by the case of Anne Kwamboka.

According to the Umoinner Matatu association chairman John Kamau, he says the reason of hiking the bus fare is because it proves hectic to operate during the rain. “Everyone is in rush to be out of town. To deal with this crazy demand for transport services is to set the bus fare at high to limit those travelling.”

The rains again cause the sewer line to burst leaving roads messed up with human waste. This is even worse at the central business district as the waste floods on the pavement. This leaves no place for people to work on and even worse exposing them to health risks.

If it were the wishes of most city residents they would want the rain to go and never return as it cost them than the benefit they leap from the same.
