Cholera: 100 cases and 10 deaths

rs. In the regions of Naivasha, Kasambara, Escharira and Nakuru the cholera has broken out. Now the Ministry of Health seems to wake up after 10 people died and 100 cases were noted. Last week we already informed the authorities about the situation but they didn't react. Today they visited our place and tomorrow more officials from the water and health department will come to discuss what has to be done. The Government always speaks of collaboration. We hope that finally we can work together and also get proper help.
