So i dont want them to blame the nyinyo if it floods again this month. This el nyinyo thing is conspiracy to eat govt billions. El nino occurs during the april long rains, not during the oct/nov short rains. Wacha ujinga boss ata kama you want to start some conspiracy get sophisticated, this is not just a Kenyan thing uliza Google Wacha matusi puana. The fact that the US that's 9,000 miles away may have some nyinyo doesnt mean we will also get the same hapa Afrika ya Mashariki.

Elnino/lanina is a world wide phenomenon. Come back with reasonable facts we dont do street talk here. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

It is time to eat--- Counties in scramble for El Niño cashQuote:Kenya has prepared a budget of Sh37 million that will be used to buy bar soaps as part of the measures the country is taking to mitigate the effects of the El Niño rains.
Another Sh50 million of the Sh16 billion the government has set aside for the expected destruction has been allocated to sensitise fishermen on the effects of the heavy rains.
These are some of the things the national and county government officials are scrambling to control under the funds meant to reduce effects of the rains.
Also, in the Budget, whopping a Sh30 million allocated to “investigate and confirm disease outbreak rumours”.
Despite the fact that schools have less than one month to close for the long Christmas holidays, Sh300 million has been budgeted for the school feeding programme.
The biggest allocation in the education sector, more than Sh1 billion, is for reconstruction of schools expected to be damaged by the rains.
But much of the money will be used to mitigate the effects of the rains, with no evidence that sufficient precautionary measures have been taken in the most vulnerable areas.
In Budalang’i, Busia County, for example, which is a flood prone area, dykes of River Nzoia are yet to be repaired.
In Nairobi, not much has been done to prevent the flooding of sections of the roads.

@alma1 , i didn't expect you to fall for that one.
There was a report about 2 weeks ago from experts saying that this el nino will be far less strong than the 98 one The mets said for El Nino to have strong effects here, it must be accompanied by rise in temps in Indian Ocean. The temps have only risen by half the magnitude they did in 97/98 @  uno sure na kile unasema? yes. read this in the DN or BD

Quote:Even in these hard times, and in what could be a mega scandal in the making, the government proposes to spend Sh37,500 per bar soap to be distributed to Kenyans who will be affected by El Niño rains.
In the El Niño response strategy, a copy of which the Sunday Nation has obtained, the government plans to spend Sh37.5 million to buy 1,000 bar soaps – which comes to Sh37,500 per piece.

yawah! So 10,000cartons x Ksh. 3,700/- = Ksh. 37,500,000 but according to GoK... that totals to 37,000,000.. Even cheating requires some intelligence.

I heard that the government has set aside some kshs 24million for 4000 packs of sanitary towels I bet Always. So each pack of sanitary towel has budget of kshs 6000!!! ...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...
