Tourism minister Alfred Mutua had earlier on Wednesday said"several camps have been impacted" by the downpour and warned all hotels and camps near rivers within Kenyan parks and reserves to prepare"for potential evacuations."The directive came hours after President William Ruto deployed the military to evacuate everyone living in flood-prone areas.
Some 90 people have been reported missing, raising fears that the toll could go higher and more than 195,000 others displaced.
