Due to the ongoing rainfall that has been leading to devastating floods, Kenya’s Government has a human rights obligation to prevent foreseeable harm from climate change and extreme weather events, and to protect people when a disaster strikes since some farms have been flashed out and ruined everything may it be crops.<\/p>\n\n\n

Extreme weather events such as flooding are particularly threatening for marginalized and at risk populations including older people, people with disabilities, people in poverty and even rural populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenya and most of the East Africa region has been lashed by relentless and devastating downpours in recent weeks as El Ni\u00f1o weather pattern exacerbates the seasonal rainfall, recent studies suggest that climate change could be a contributing factor that has led so many people suffering as some loosing their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, residents of Kimama area in chesikaki ward in Mt. Elgon, are also among the affected people, Isaac Biket one of the residents says that most of them have encountered huge losses especially after River Malakisi braked its banks and caused damages to their crops where they have called on the Government to compensate people who have been affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chief Executive Officer of Kimama Cooperative Association Ben Mulupi, says the association estimated huge losses after the rains washed away coffee plants of farmers, as they have initiated the process of putting down the names of affected farmers to be submitted to the officer for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they also complained about how the rains have affected transport activities to a large level, causing the damages of crops that they would use to pay taxes when schools will be opening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
