Floods related deaths show Government inertia

Floods and resultant deaths, injuries, displacement, and destruction of property are here with us once again. Within just this month alone, eleven people have died, nine of them school children aged between six and 13 years. They were swept away by floods in Nyaburu Village in Central Gwassi last Wednesday.

The two adults died in an incident that was caused by flooding of River Athi. Several others have been injured and hundreds are already rendered homeless. And the rains and floods did not come out of the blue catching the Government by surprise.
