A cholera streak that affected some parts of Migori County early April this year is still fresh on the minds of the local population.
While the Health Department reported 53 cholera cases and one death with an assurance of a complete containment of the disease, fears are still rife that cholera and other contaminable diseases could hit hard in the area once more in the near future.
Residents point fingers at the increasing poor sanitation mainly within towns and market places.
A case in point among many is the Maridi open market in the suburbs of Migori town whose cleanliness has been completely sabotaged by mountains of uncollected garbage and free-flow open sewer for a couple of months now.
