Former Roots party presidential running mate Justina Wamae has urged the government to set up water harvesting facilities after leading prayers for rains.
Wamae on Wednesday questioned government's preparedness to harvest rainwater.
"It has rained then. Is the Government of Kenya prepared to harvest the rainwater? Nyayo(Former President Daniel Moi) taught us about building gabions to prevent soil erosion," Wamae said.
Wamae said the government should work with Kenyans to construct large and small-scale water storage facilities as Kenyans await for the rains.
"The government of Kenya should borrow a leaf from Moi and work with Kenyans to ensure we have water storage as a local solution," Wamae said.
On Tuesday, President William Ruto together with First Lady Rachel Ruto and other leaders met at Nyayo National Stadium to pray for rains as the ongoing drought continues to ravage counties.
Ruto had invited Kenyans to the national prayer ceremony to pray for God’s intervention to avail rains and bless the country.
