We lied, there will be no El Nino – RUTO shocks Kenyans even after ‘wasting’ Sh10 billion preparing for the rain

 

Monday, October 23, 2023 – There will be no El Nino rains like the one which was experienced in 1997.

This was revealed by President William Ruto who noted that the country will not experience El Nino rains following an expert assessment from the Kenya Meteorological Department.

Addressing a congregation during a church service in Riruta yesterday, the Head of State indicated that the meteorologists had rescinded their earlier projection predicting the possibility of El Nino rains.

“We heard reports that the country will experience El Nino rains, which have the potential to destroy property. But God has been faithful,” Ruto explained.

“We have now heard the meteorologists saying that will no longer be the case. We will just have heavy rains. We thank God.”

In an earlier projection, the Kenya Meteorological Department had indicated that Kenya would experience El Nino between the months of October and December.

In some regions like Western Kenya and parts of Rift Valley, the Department had indicated that El Nino effects would extend to January 2024.

The Head of State attributed the change of pattern to his administration’s belief in God and prayers conducted at the Nyayo Stadium.

“There are those who criticised us when we prayed for rains at Nyayo stadium. They said a whole president is praying for rain. Now see, we have more rains than we have had in four years, that is God’s doing,” he added.

He now plans to take advantage of the rains for increased agricultural productivity which he hopes will lower the cost of living.
