This week’s loss of Kenyan lives to predictable natural events, especially coming soon after the unfortunate killings in Kenya of the north, is distressing. What makes these deaths annoying is that for several weeks the meteorological department kept indicating the possibility of unusually heavy rains. Despite these predictions and the history of storm-related disasters, we went on in our normal laissez faire, happy go-lucky mode until the rains struck and then we reacted in our expected manner.
