Wajir cleaned up in preparation for El Nino rains

The county government of Wajir, in partnership with the Kenya Red Cross, has conducted community mobilization through public address, awareness, and radio messaging.

Wajir Municipality MD Mr Abdinoor has stated that the department will ensure the whole town is clean and all drainage is unclogged ahead of the anticipated El Nino rains.

At the same time, the WHO and the Ministry of Health are conducting a series of integrated surveillance training in four priority Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL) counties ahead of the projected El Nino rains. The four counties, Marsabit, Wajir, Garissa, and Mandera, are expected to face an upsurge of water and vector-borne diseases during the rainy season.
