Tuesday, April 30, 2024 - Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has broken his silence over the ongoing floods that have killed hundreds and destroyed billions worth of properties.
In a statement, Uhuru condoled
with the victims of the floods, stating that his thoughts and prayers were with
the victims.
"The relentless rainfall has caused significant damage, displacing families, destroying infrastructure, and claiming precious lives.
"During this time of profound loss and despair, my
thoughts and prayers are with the affected communities as they cope with the
aftermath of this natural disaster," said the former Head of State.
Further, the former President
pledged a personal donation of Ksh2 million to the Kenya Red Cross
Society.
The donation is expected to aid
the Red Cross in facilitating relief efforts for the victims of the floods that
have ravaged the country.
Additionally, the former
President requested volunteer medical professionals and healthcare providers to
step in and offer health services given that the doctors are on strike.
Further reinforcing his
sentiments and the donation the President stated it was necessary that the
country stand together with the victims and those adversely affected by the
floods.
“As a nation, we must stand
together in the face of adversity, demonstrating compassion, resilience, and
solidarity with one another”, he noted.
Further, he urged Kenyans to
exercise utmost care, avoid crossing flooded roads or pathways, and, most
importantly, seek higher ground when necessary to ensure their safety and
well-being.
Uhuru’s gesture comes even as
President William Ruto is busy globetrotting and dragging his feet as his countrymen
and women are dying from floods.
