Finally, Ladies and Gentlemen
As you are aware, the Meteorological Department and National
Government have confirmed the dreaded El-Nino rains have started in
some parts of the county.We expect above normal rainfall and if not
well managed and mitigation measures put in place, this could have
devastating effects. My government is putting in place measures to
deal with this phenomenon and especially, expected disruption of
normal activities. I have established a county coordination and
communication team to manage disaster cases. This team includes
officers from both County and National Governments. Support SubCounty operations centers are being set up in respective SubCounties.
We expect that there will be increased disease burden especially in
the low lying areas of Mwea Sub County and because of that we have
asked the health department to stockpile medicine especially for
waterborne diseases and Malaria.
