 27th April, 2012 - POOR HOUSING BLAMED FOR FLOODS IN TOWN: By Dominic Anyanga
Nyando residents especially those living on the flood prone areas of
ayweyo, bwanda, kanyagwal, ombeyi and parts of ahero town have been
encouraged to desert the areas in time and move to evacuation centres
or any higher grounds as the long rains began to wreak havoc in most
parts of the district this month, Kenya red cross district coordinator
Kennedy mulama says if early measures are taken then the looming
disaster might not be devastating as it has been in the past, mulama
blamed poor housing and drainage in awasi and ahero towns for the
problem, a local engineer washingtom onyango adds that most rental
houses in these towns were constructed in the 70s and do not conform
to the current standards and population and therefore should be
condemned and restructured to avert floods.
The worst hit areas following the recent rains are K'ochieng, kochogo
south, nyang'oto, kore, rae and wasare in nyakach district where
hundreds have been displaced, property damaged and livestock lost,
the residents have of late appealed to well wishers to come to their
aid with foodstuffs and clothing during floods to sustain them until
water levels subside, so far Kenya red cross is on the ground in these
areas in readiness for any disaster.

26th April, 2012 - RIVER REHABILITATION: By Dominic Anyanga
Three rivers in Nyando will from this month benefit from a
rehabilitation exercise through a tree planting programme sponsored by
ministry of environment and mineral resources,Kenya forest service and
national environmental management authority-NEMA. The rehabilitation
programme targets river Nyando where ten kilometers on both sides will
be planted, river ombeyi and river kisanti both getting six kilometer
coverage to completely wipe out the soil erosion menace common along
the river banks, speaking during the launch of the programme at
karanda primary school today, zonal forest manager in charge of
Nyando nyakach and muhoroni districts Geoffrey mwaura encouraged the
community to embrace and support tree parenting especially during this
rainy season in order to sustain the programme.
Speaking on the same event Nyando district environment officer Daniel
omwanza appealed to the community to cooperate and at least demystify
rumors going around that the project will deny farmers the opportunity
to operate normally with their farming activities, omwanza added that
the project will involve the youth who will plant the trees at a fee,
the trees will be purchased from local nurseries through area water
resource users associations - WRUAs as a means of empowering the local
people, on the security and sustainability of the project, omwanza
urged the community to take the initiative of planting indigenous
trees in large numbers, take care of them for generations since they
will forever remain their property, he called upon other members of
the community who do not own farms near these rivers to go for the
seedlings if at all the security is guaranteed. The team continues
with mobilization and awareness creation around Nyando as the exercise
rolls on.
