Over fifty people who were swept away by the recent floods are still missing as the government started closing down camps hosting victims of the environmental disaster. With close to 200 camps still active, the government said that it was time that affected families who have been living in schools and churches moved back to their homes. This came as the government announced plans to buy land for the Mai Mahiu victims who have been camping at a church and a private institution since the tragedy occurred. She said that from next week, the government would meet Nakuru County government officers to seek land for the Mai Mahiu victims before resettling them. Evangelist Lucy Wangunjiri who has been hosting the Mai Mahiu victims called on the government to keep its promise of resettling all the victims.
