It is sounding like the Kenya 737-800 may have suffered a dual engine
flameout in heavy rain, similar to this event:

Seems like quite a long shot. The Kenya plane was at climb out power,
the incidents on record of flame out from excess water were at idle
throttle (during descent). Interesting that the plane was only 6
months old.
