Members of Parliament from Northern Kenya have raised concerns over discrimination by the national government in addressing the effects of El Nino rains which have resulted in 15 people losing their lives.

The legislators have called on Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to ensure that the region which has been heavily affected by the heavy rains is able to get the resources that will cushion the area residents during the rains.
