A forecast by the Kenya Meteorological Department indicates that most parts of the country will experience less rainfall, which will be poorly distributed, both in space and time. He said pastoral areas of northeastern, northwestern and southeastern Kenya may deteriorate as a result of expected poor rainfall. “The anticipated depressed rainfall is also likely to result in land degradation through wilting of grass and exposure of the top soil to erosion,” he said. Lack of sufficient water and poor sanitation, he said, were likely to lead to outbreaks of diseases like cholera and typhoid.
