The bodies of two Kenya Revenue Service employees were found on Sunday after they were swept away by floods while they were driving in the coastal area on Friday.


The Kenya Coast Guard also recovered the body of a man they took away while he was on his motorcycle.


Authorities on Saturday said 10 people were confirmed dead on the coast after three days of heavy rain and flooding.


More than 20,000 families have been displaced across Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale and Tana River counties, according to the Coast Police Commissioner Rhoda Onyancha on Saturday.


Overall, scores of people have died and thousands have been displaced across the country since early November after heavy rains caused flooding.


The flood caused many deaths in neighboring countries including Somalia and Ethiopia.
