Ten were known dead on Saturday, and a surviving man was dug out of the house after ten hours. The house was reportedly just two years old and had at least six floors. Local building has widespread problems with poor materials and not following Kenyan construction rules.
Interior Minister Joseph Nkaissery said on Saturday, hospitals had treated 80 people.
Another seven people reportedly died in the storm. Kenya's Red Cross said the flooding affected more than 800 homes.
