Over 200 families in Rongai, Nakuru County have been displaced following heavy rains that pounded the area.
Rongai Member of Parliament Raymond Moi said the residents from his constituency were forced to abandon their homes after they were rendered uninhabitable after River Rongai burst its banks.
Raymond called on the national government and well-wishers to supply the affected families with tents and bedding.
Speaking at Burgei Trading Centre, Moi said the affected residents who have been displaced from their homes were yet to receive any assistance from government agencies.
The MP who appealed to the government to provide them with food and medicine supplies, said Rongai is a high-risk area of water borne disease outbreaks following flooding.
“Apart from a few individuals who have offered to host the victims temporarily, there is no other humanitarian assistance the families have received. This is a letdown and should be addressed.
“There is a likelihood of an outbreak of waterborne diseases. Sources of clean water have been contaminated and pit latrines have been filled up,” Raymond said as quoted by Standard.
