Lamu Governor H.E. Issa Timamy H.S.C has today visited and consoled families that were affected by last night’s inferno that razed down 10 houses and left dozens of families displaced at Manyatta, Lake Side in Bahari Ward.

The A.N.C party leader, who was accompanied by his Deputy H.E Raphael Munyua together with nominated M.C.A Aisha Abdulrahman said the County Government of Lamu will aide the victims with food supplies as well as assist them to rebuild their lives. He further noted that the County government is set to employ disaster management officers across the county who will be addressing such calamities to prevent such losses.

The inferno was caused by a burning doum palm that spread fire to the thatched houses.

The governor’s visit comes a day after the area M.C.A visited the victims and assured them that as a legislator he is committed to work with Governor Timamy’s administration to ensure that the county establishes a functional disaster management system.
