The rains have also led to the loss of over 6,000 livestock and resulted in damage to crops estimated to cost KES16.3 billion.

According to the National El Nino Emergency and Disaster Response Command Center, at least 7,878 learning institutions have been affected. In a bid to restore the loss, the government said on Friday that renovations are ongoing in the affected schools ahead of their re-opening and reconstruction of roads.
