The government will use DNA tests to help families in Elgeyo Marakwet and West Pokot identify the bodies of their relatives who were killed in mudslides and floods. Natembeya said recovered body parts are being preserved in morgues in Tot and Kapenguria. The government has also distributed food aid to all the displaced families along with all other starving residents in the area. “We lost more than 28 people in Elgeyo Marakwet. We are working with the state to ensure the affected families are assisted in the best way possible,” Elgeyo Marakwet Governor Alex Tolgos said.
