Isiolo County wants neighbouring Meru to put up emergency treatment centres to check the spread of cholera. But Meru has denied that there is a cholera outbreak in the region.
In a statement on Tuesday, Isiolo Deputy Governor Abdi Ibrahim Issa said the county’s Level Four hospital had admitted 18 patients with cholera symptoms from Kandebene in neighbouring Tigania West, about 10km east of Isiolo town.
