Cholera Deaths reflect the state of our Nation

Over 300 Kenyans have recently lost their  lives through cholera and many more continue to be at risk. According to Doctor Lukoye Atwoli. As the ministry of public health and sanitation continues to deploy more personnel to the affected areas, more cases keep popping up. Outbreaks of cholera and other diarrhea diseases are practically unheard of in countries that have improved their waste disposal systems and ensured a steady supply of clean drinking water for their citizens. As the Kenyans continue dying of a disease caused by poor hygiene and whose prevention is mostly clean water, we must ask ourselves if we are up to the challenges of the new millennium and on track to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and the Kenya’s vision 2030.
