The claim that floods have caused 103 deaths is supported by multiple reports, though the precise number has fluctuated and generally increased over time. One article from Capital News specifically states, "Floods related death rise to 103, as police report 15 fatalities," directly correlating with the claim. This report indicates that an additional 15 deaths contributed to the overall count reaching 103.
However, subsequent reports indicate the death toll continued to climb. KBC Digital reported on March 27, 2026, that "15 more people have died," bringing the total at that time to an unspecified higher number, implying a cumulative count that was already beyond the initial 103. Reuters later reported that the "Death toll from Kenyan floods rises to 108, police say," indicating a further increase from the 103 figure.
The most recent updates from Capital News and an Interior Ministry statement confirm an even higher death toll. Capital News published that the "Floods Death Toll Hits 110 as Disaster Spreads Across 30 Counties." This figure is corroborated by the Interior Ministry, which, according to another article, stated that the "Death toll rises to 110
