The President said the National Youth Service had been instructed to set aside land to resettle those affected.
“I have authorised the National Youth Service to move some of these people to to safe ground as we decide what to do with them,” Ruto said.
“I will be having another emergency session tomorrow with multi-agency teams to make sure we provide adequate support to all those in need and to move citizens who are in dangerous areas that may be susceptible to floods.”
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, assigned to spearhead the emergency response, will convene meetings with various stakeholders, including development partners, to enhance cooperation. Gachagua announced the activation of the multi-agency emergency response center at Nyayo House starting at 4 pm today.
He urged Kenyans to collaborate with emergency teams to ensure their safety and that of their families, assuring affected families of provisions for both food and non-food items.
