Alex Nganga Kimani was a victim of floods in Maai Mahiu, Nakuru county, months ago.
How old were Kimani's daughters?
Kimani is still grieving the loss of his property and family due to the disaster following the heavy rains.
He lost his wife and two daughters; he has not yet found the bodies of his children who were swept away by the flood.
“It's almost five months now since the flood swept away my family. The strong water carried away my two daughters, a boy and a child sand in that fateful night. I have never heard any information about them,” he told Mururi TV.
It was not the first time for Kimani to lose her children as she revealed that she had lost two children before.
