COUNTY ASSEMBLY DEBATES PREPAREDNESS FOR ANTICIPATED EL NIÑO RAINS
The County Assembly today dedicated a significant part of its Plenary Session to debating a Motion moved by Hon. Bernard Moloma (MCA Kenyawa Poka) on the preparedness of the County Government of Kajiado for the anticipated El Niño rains.
In his Motion, Hon. Moloma raised concerns over the potential impacts of heavy rainfall and El Niño conditions, including flash floods, destruction of roads, contamination of water sources, displacement of households, damage to public infrastructure, disruption of health and education services, livestock losses, disease outbreaks and other socio-economic effects.
Following deliberations, the House adopted the Motion and its recommendations, directing the Kajiado County Executive Committee to commence implementation of the stipulated preparedness and mitigation measures.
In an amendment Motion moved by Hon Naisiae Karia, the County Executive has further been directed to provide the County Assembly with an initial progress report within seven days of the adoption of the Motion, outlining the measures undertaken to enhance preparedness and protect residents, infrastructure and livelihoods.
The County Assembly remains committed to strengthening oversight and ensuring that the County is adequately prepared to respond to emergencies and protect the welfare of the people of Kajiado.
