Photographer goes fishing in Nairobi’s many potholes

A hilarious Kenyan photographer is using his brilliant creativity and tools of trade to highlight the irritating issue of Nairobi’s many potholes.

Patrick Ngugi is the same man who last week took an inflatable boat to the same streets to poke fun of the Capital’s poor drainage system with hilarious results.

Going by the relentless heavy rains and the numerous number of potholes throughout the city center, photojournalist Ngugi has seemingly embarked on a journey to capture Governor Sonko’s attention and hope he takes action.

In one image, he is seen holding up a fish, as his catch from one of the potholes in the streets of Nairobi.

In yet another image, he is seen rowing an inflatable boat across a large mass of water along Biashara Street.

The images have already caused a host of reactions from a number of Kenyans on Twitter;

A lifejacket comes in handy to drive the message home.
