The Nyamira residents who have already benefited from the mosquito nets being supplied by the county government have been warned against misusing the nets.
Speaking in Sironga on the second day of distribution in Nyamira county on Friday, the Executive Committee Member for Health Gladys Momanyi said that they have been witnessing some members of the community using the nets for fencing which was not the intended purpose.
She affirmed that the county government will take action against those who will be found misusing the nets.
Momanyi further urged pregnant women especially to ensure that they utilise the nets so that they don't contract malaria particularly since malaria cases are expected to be on the rise this rainy season.
She appealed to chiefs and their assistants to be at the forefront of championing the correct use of the mosquito nets.
“We would appreciate it if our chiefs will help us arrest those who are going to misuse the nets and we would also like the residents to be self disciplined,” she added.
