They are also facing difficulties, especially when it comes to meeting their basic needs. Their well- being and safety are at stake as they face extreme weather conditions. Therefore, they are vulnerable and susceptible to diseases, more so, waterborne diseases and other illnesses. Further to the foregoing, we have also had road network interruptions, which has led to road closures, especially major highways that act as economic gears in the transportation of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

"content": "goods and services. Different parts of the country risk price variations leading to uncontrolled demand as supply will be affected in one way or another. The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has since closed the Mai Mahiu-Narok Road due to its impassability caused by the aftermath of the old Kijabe Dam burst. The continued extensive rains have also wreaked havoc elsewhere. Other major roads which have been closed include the Murang’a–Kiria-ini Road which connects Nyeri and Murang'a counties, and the Garissa–Madogo Road, which serves as a major network for goods and transport. As a result of the excessive rains, the Government, through the Ministry of Education, also called off the re-opening of schools due to safety concerns for the learners and the risks of commuting to their respective schools as evidenced by the bad roads. Needless to say, some schools have been hit hard by the floods and are in a bad state. They are thus uninhabitable by the learners. More than 70 per cent of Kenyans depend on day-to-day activities and events for their daily meals. Therefore, the continuous floods, which have disrupted normal activities, have rendered them destitute and lacking food and other basic needs. Flooding is also associated with the loss of business trading activities thus leading to a greater number of the population being forced to eke out a living through life-threatening measures. The aggravated loss of livelihood and businesses is irreparable, irredeemable and needs to be swiftly responded to. As Kenyans, we need to reflect on the much talked about climate change and its impacts, whether short-term, medium-term, or long-term. It is prudent to appreciate that the current floods are not only hitting Kenya, but also the larger East African region, with Tanzania also reporting wide impacts of the same. In addition, floods are also being reported in the Middle East, China and other parts of the world. As a country, we need to embrace policies put in place by the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Since the rains started, over 50,000 citizens have been displaced. The situation keeps worsening as the rains increase day by day. The displaced citizens are in dire need of basic needs. They are looking up to the Government, well-wishers and other stakeholders to help them. This House is not excluded."

We should also call for a co-ordinated approach in responding to such effects. In the wisdom of this House, we should also propose that the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) save some of their allocated budget and donate such resources to the flood victims."
