The government has set aside Sh40 million for disaster and emergence response ahead of the start of the long rains, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has said.

On Wednesday, Mr Murkomen appeared before the Senate and said the Ministry of Interior and National Coordination had told residents of Kisumu, Busia and Tana River counties to prepare for a possibility of floods.
