00:05Kenya's capital is battling heavy floods this Saturday after torrential rains poured down overnight.
00:12Many motorists were struggling to recover their half-submerged cars and had to wade through hip-high water.

00:32This car was here for parking, but now I could not go with it.

00:43There will be rains, but they didn't unclock the drainage system which is very poor here in Nairobi.
00:51As the floods rose, the government deployed the military to assist emergency services.
00:56Heavy rains continued to pound Nairobi throughout the night.
