We should always be keen on the garbage disposal as these may cause waterborne diseases and even cholera. Let us keep o
ur surrounding clean for the sake of children and even adults.

THE EFFECTS OF THE LONG RAINS ON FARM PRODUCE

The long rains that have rendered some roads impassable have caused farmers to huge losses as their farm produce cannot be reached or taken to the market on time.

The most affected are the rural areas where farmers helplessly see their farm produce getting damaged.

In some areas farming has now become difficult as the rains are non-stop thus hindering people to do anything on their farms.

THE LONG RAINS CAUSE MORE HAVOC AT MAI MAHIU

The long rains in Kenya are experienced from March to May as the short rains are from October to December, this year the long rains have cause more disaster that in the recent years.   

The rains are expected to continue in several parts of the country with heavy downpour likely to occur as well as flooding in low lying areas and landslides in the steep slopes.

The rains hit hard in Mai Mahiu (Northwest of Nairobi) as it displaced and killed so many people while others are missing. The residents say the disaster was caused by water blowing through a clogged tunnel under a railway bridge.

FLOODS! FLOODS! ALL OVER: Beware of your Surrounding/Destination

 

Days of torrential rains have pound parts of Kenya, killing many people and animals as well as displacing many people from their homes. The rains began in March which was assumed as the long rains but have turned into disaster in the past weeks.

Always be careful and don’t underestimate the floods, some roads have been rendered impassible making it difficult for the transport sector to conduct its businesses.
