In Kasarani, two people, including a boda boda rider, were swept away after River Majimazuri burst its banks.
The Kenya Red Cross also indicated that many parts of the city are severely affected by the adverse weather conditions.
Six people were swept away by raging floods after torrential rains pounded Kenyas capital city on Tuesday night.
This even as President William Ruto on Wednesday directed the formation of a multi-agency response team to deal with raging floods in the country.
Underwater: Its raining everywhere, no place to hide 4 Nairobi roads closed due to floodingThe orders came after a meeting with leaders from counties and regions affected by the ongoing heavy rains. I direct the ministries of Interior and EAC, Arid and Semi-Arid Lands and Regional Development, and the National Youth Service to immediately respond to the situation caused by the floods. They will immediately step up multi-agency response efforts, Dr Ruto said.
At the same time, Azimio leader Raila Odinga wants the government to declare the current floods situation a national disaster.
Addressing the media last evening at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation, Mr Odinga said the assessment done by the Azimio team in Nairobi alone shows that the county governments response team has been overwhelmed.
It is our urgent appeal that the President and government hereby declare the floods a national disaster and immediately activate all emergency mechanisms, including military disaster response teams, Mr Odinga said.
The Opposition leader stated that Azimio MPs have collected Sh1 million to alleviate the situation in Nairobi slums.
Among the dead include a woman, who after rescuing her child, was prompted to go back and pick something, but drowned after a wall collapsed around Mabatini 4A area in Mathare.
People died and there was nothing that we could do to rescue them, we saw our friends being submerged. We dont know what to do here if the situation continues, one of the residents said.
Downstream, two more bodies were lying waiting for police officers to pick them as the people who recovered the bodies confirmed that one had earlier been picked up by the police.
In Kasarani, two people, including a boda boda rider, were swept away after River Majimazuri burst its banks.
Six others are yet to be located, according to Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja.
He said more than 60,000 people, mostly women and children, have been severely affected following the devastating flash floods that hit the city.
The search is on to locate six others who have been reported missing, he said during a press conference yesterday.
In the last three days, more than a dozen people in Nairobi have lost their lives in floods while thousands have been affected.
Thousands of people were forced to move out of their houses for safety, leaving behind their marooned houses.
For the better part of yesterday, major city roads were submerged, leading to heavy traffic snarl-ups with businesses being disrupted as traders counted losses due to impassable roads.
Besides the city's poor drainage system, some of the waterways were blocked by construction sites, which redirected flood waters to estates, causing extensive damage.
The city boss attributed the calamity to encroachment of riparian lands, saying the county has currently halted all approvals for development.
We shall not allow any development upstream to affect lives downstream until we review all those that have been issued, he said.
With the help of the police, the county chief said they will use force to bring down all buildings built on river banks and other wetland areas in Nairobi.
Nothing will be spared no matter who they belong to. We will just have to use force because it is about saving lives, said Mr Sakaja.
