Published on July 19, 2020, the Civic Renewal Party has launched a two-week tour of lakes in the Rift Valley to assess the impact of rising water levels.
During the tour, the party's ambassador, James Mwangi, noted that millions of shillings in investments have been lost due to the flooding in Naivasha.
He called on national leaders to stop politicking and seek ways of assisting the closed investments around the troubled lake.
“After this tour, CRP shall petition the parliamentary committee on environment to seek ways of assisting the farmers due to this calamity that has been caused by climate change,” Mwangi said.
The party plans to donate and plant over 100,000 tree seedlings around the troubled lakes as part of their campaign efforts.
Local residents, including boat riders and traders, have welcomed the initiative, citing the devastating impact of the flooding on their livelihoods.
