Kenya Red Cross and the County Government of Nandi have identified water and environment as key areas of partnership in the strategy towards mitigating the effects of climate change that negatively impacts locals and the neighbouring counties.
High level KRCS team led by its Secretary General Dr.
Idris Ahmed and Nandi Governor Stephen Sang agreed that a well-managed environment and water was key in Nandi as its position determines rain distribution in the region.
Flooding in Nyando and Kisumu areas for instance was linked to huge emptying of the Nandi rivers during seasonal rains and identified areas of potential partnership. "We are all aware of the flooding that is experienced in Nyando and Kisumu areas is courtesy of the rains and the huge emptying of the rivers from Nandi County rivers," Sang told the journalists after signing a Memorandum of Understanding on various identified areas between Nandi County Government and KRCS at Eliud Kipchoge Complex Stadium.
