Mr Wambua asked residents living downstream and along the River Turkwel to move to safer grounds to evade possible flash floods.

RELIEF FOOD

He said the national government had kicked off relief food distribution to flood victims.

"Besides floods, the national and county governments should step up relief food distribution for county residents affected by Covid-19 containment directives," Mr Epuyo said.

HOUSES DESTROYED

Turkana Central National Government Constituency Development Fund Chairperson Ruth Kuya noted that besides relief food distribution, flood victims should be resettled by the national government.

While leading relief food distribution programme to residents whose houses were destroyed by flooded River Kawalase, Ms Kuya said many of the elderly people had heeded to Ministry of Health directive to stay at home because they are vulnerable to Covid-19.
