President William Ruto has announced that the coastal region will experience Cyclone Hidaya, resulting in heavy rainfall, large waves, and strong winds that could affect marine activities in the Indian Ocean.
Speaking when he chaired a Cabinet meeting to deliberate on extra measures to mitigate the devastating effects of flooding across the country, he said the coastal region is likely to experience Cyclone Hidaya, which may cause mudslides and landslides.
The Kenya Meteorological Department forecast indicates that for the next three months, average to above-average rains will continue in all parts of the country, with flooding in low-lying areas.
The devastating floods have destroyed infrastructures, including classrooms, dormitories, halls, toilets, latrines, fences, and perimeter walls, in various schools, leading to the postponement of schools reopening.
Some schools have been reported flooded, while others are being occupied by people who mudslides, landslides and floods have displaced.

President Ruto therefore directed the ministry of education to work closely with the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG CDF) to provide funding for repair and rehabilitation of destroyed School infrastructure.
