    "content": "Heavy rainfall occurred towards the end of February through to March and has caused a lot of havoc across the country. Our efforts as a Ministry and the Government have repositioned food relief in most of the districts which are about 53 across the country. These will be counter- checked in the table that I will lay on the Table with food items totalling to Kshs400 million across the country. Most of the relief food has since reached its destination, although we are still struggling with some areas where transport has been hampered. I will not go into the details of the areas affected by the road network. It is shown in the table. Specific details of areas affected and the problems which have been noted in those particular areas are also contained in this table. As far as Turkana is concerned, the floods affected villages close to river Kawalase, California, Soweto and Napatet. Families close to 5,000 were displaced and have since been moved to higher grounds. The effect of the floods which have resulted into some deaths was also a concern raised by the hon. Members. Four deaths of Mr. Francis Mutisya, Ephantus Miriti and Mr. Linavata Rao occurred. There is also a Mr. Saddam Hussein aged 19 years who was washed away by floods and lost his life when he was trying to cross River Turkwel in Lodwar Town. The Government officer who lost his life is Mr. Isaac Newton Ndinya who was, until his demise the District Statistics Officer of the larger Turkana District. He is the civil servant who died."
