Naivasha residents have raised concerns after Cholera outbreak was reported in the area.
Several students from Naivasha Girls high school have been confirmed to have contracted the disease.
Speaking at the school on Wednesday, Nakuru County health officer Samwel King’ori confirmed the incident.
“The situation is already in control. We have sent health officers here to handle the situation,” King’ori said.
The officer assured parents that all is well.
“I want to assure parents that their children are safe,” he added.
However, despite the assurance, residents are worried.
