Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka has raised alarm over a strange disease affecting residents of South Mugirango in Kisii County. 

Speaking on Tuesday, March 4, he revealed that more than 200 people from Nyabigege, Nyamarondo, and Nyaririgo villages have fallen ill in the past two weeks.

"The situation is very worrying. Over 200 people are sick, experiencing severe diarrhea with blood, high fever, and intense headaches. We cannot sit back and watch," Onyonka stated.

He urged the national and county governments to move quickly, as initial investigations suggest the disease could be linked to contaminated water.

"Health officials have already started investigations, and early findings point to a possible waterborne disease. 

We need urgent intervention to prevent more infections," he explained.

The senator called for immediate testing of water sources and samples from the patients to determine the exact cause of the outbreak.

"I urge the Ministry of Health to speed up laboratory tests.

We need to know what we are dealing with so that the right measures can be taken," he said.

To help those already affected, Onyonka asked the government to send more medical staff and supplies to the area.

"We need additional health workers on the ground immediately. The sick need treatment, and we cannot afford any delays," he emphasized.

Apart from medical intervention, the senator advised residents to take precautions to protect themselves.

"I want to tell my people to be extra careful. Please boil all drinking and cooking water. This simple step can save lives," he urged.

Onyonka also called on community health workers to educate residents about hygiene and sanitation.

"Our community health volunteers should be on high alert. They must teach people how to prevent infections and maintain cleanliness," he added.

Looking beyond the current crisis, the senator stressed the need for long-term solutions to ensure clean water access in South Mugirango.

"This outbreak is a wake-up call. We cannot keep dealing with such emergencies every time. 

The government must invest in safe drinking water for our people," he insisted.

Finally, he called for transparency from health authorities, saying regular updates were necessary to keep the public informed.

"Let us not hide information. The people need to know what is happening and what steps are being taken. 

I will keep pushing until this issue is fully resolved," he concluded.
