Published on July 12, 2020, North Eastern Regional Population Coordinator Moses Ouma has called on county governments to re-align their County Integrated Development Plans (CIDP) to address the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Ouma, the pandemic has caused significant disruptions to livelihoods, and a multi-agency approach is needed to manage the health crisis. He emphasized that the best approach is planning on how best to manage the health crisis.
"The theme could not be more appropriate considering the challenges that have been presented by the pandemic to women and girls. By safeguarding our women and girls is safeguarding the future of our society," Ouma said.
He also urged parents to be more involved in the lives of their children, especially now that the reopening of schools has been suspended until early next year.
Garissa County Finance CEC Roble Nuno said that the county has reallocated resources from various projects to prioritize the presidential directive of establishing 300-bed capacity facilities for COVID-19 patients in each county.
