Kenyans have failed to heed El Nino alert

The devastating effects of El-Niño have started taking toll on Kenyans.

Already some areas like Bungoma and Garissa have reported deaths and hundreds displaced by floods while roads in West Pokot have been rendered impassable.

It is unfortunate that all this is happening despite early warning by the weatherman.

To make matters worse, many Kenyans choose to ignore predictions from the Meteorological Department.

Some resisted calls to relocate to higher ground to avert tragedy in case of mudslides and floods.

Now the country is grappling with disasters that could have been prevented if they had heeded warnings.

Kenyans must shun the wait and see attitude and take warnings seriously.
