At least 42 killed after dam bursts in Kenya: governor

At least 42 people have been killed when a dam burst its banks in a town north of the Kenyan capital Nairobi, the local governor told AFP on Monday, as the country battles heavy rains and floods.

"Forty-two dead, it's a conservative estimate. There are still more in the mud, we are working on recovery," the governor, Susan Kihika, said.
