Future Floods Victims To Be Flogged Before Rescue

Date:

Victims of floods living in wetlands within Tana River County will be subjected to a thorough beating before being rescued in future calamities, Tana River Governor Dhadho said.

The governor told the locals that his administration will not continue losing money in rescuing people who continue to defy order to vacate wetlands.

According to the governor, the vacation order was not only issued by the county government but also by the national government hence should be obeyed.

“We will not just head for the usual rescue mission. I urge the county commissioner to equip yourselves with whips. We shall rescue as we whip individuals until they learn to obey directives,” he said.
