President William Ruto has said all victims of flooding in the country will be treated in a humane way.

He said enough resources have been set aside to buy food and bedding for the affected people. 

President Ruto explained that alternative settlements for the over 40,000 displaced households will also be offered.

“Additionally, we apportioned Sh1 billion to rebuild schools so that our children can resume their studies in good time.”

He spoke on Monday in Kiamaiko and Mathare Depot in Nairobi County during the assessment of floods in the area.

“Those displaced because of their safety will have alternative and decent place to stay. Each family will get Sh10,000 to facilitate this cause,” said the President.

As of Sunday, the government reported that 228 people had lost their lives due to the severe weather conditions, 164 were injured and a total of 42,526 households were displaced, affecting approximately 212,630 people.
