Isiolo Governor Dr. Mohamed Kuti has appealed for 'emergency intervention' from the Ministry of Devolution, Arids and Semi-Arid Lands(ASALs) headed by C.S Eugene Wamalwa after making a visit to the affected areas of Iresaboru to assess the situation which he says is worsening by the hour and the relief food distributed by the County Government could run out at any point', and that 'the sooner measures are taken to contain the situation, the better,' he insists.
The governor who was accompanied by Speaker Hussein Halake and Cherab MCA Mr. Mohamed Jirmo issued a directive to construct gabions along the river 'as an emergency intervention geared towards curbing further loss of human and animal life as well as destruction of property.'
