Azimio One Kenya Coalition co-principal Martha Karua has asked the government to resettle victims of floods in affordable houses that have been completed.

Speaking during a church service in Nairobi, the NARC Kenya party leader said Kenyans are going through tough economic times, adding that the flooding situation has made it even more difficult.

“Life is hard because of cost of living, there are women who have nothing to give their children others have suffered as a result of floods. Their children have died and they have been left without shelter. Our taxes should cater for their needs. It is enough to take care of their education, medical and housing needs. To give them temporary homes and move them to affordable houses that have been built using our taxes,” Karua said.
