(c) Measures undertaken to control and prevent any future occurrence of the same are:- (i) Community members in Umoja Village in Tulwet Location, Kuresoi Division of Molo District have been advised to ensure that water for drinking is either chlorinated or boiled before use. (ii) Health officials in the area have intensified health education on safe handling of both water and food, including during consumption. (iii) Samples from water sources in the area have been collected and sent to the Government Chemist for further analysis. (iv) Plans are under way to protect the communal spring in the area, which is widely used by residents, in order to avert possible future contamination.
