It was a sigh of relief as eight families that were displaced from their homes by heavy flooding in Githioro ward, Kipipiri sub-county, benefited with humanitarian assistance from His Excellency Governor Francis Kimemia this afternoon.
The consignment, consisting of blankets and mattresses, sanitary items, foodstuff and assorted household utensils, was delivered by the area Ward Administrator Mr. Mungai Kaburu and the Member of the County Assembly Hon. Sambigi Mukuria.
It is my assurance that every effort will be made and support extended to make these families and especially the vulnerable children and elderly receive humanitarian support. This is the beginning of this journey which I will walk with you till your pain and loss is assuaged.
Nyandarua County Governor ,Hon. Kimemia
