Where statistics shows that from last year almost over one thousands people who were attacked and later recovered were mostly from the well to do families.

Not forgetting the attack at a high class hotel owned by an influential politician and at the most expensive hospital in the Country.

As those living in the Sprawling Slums of Kibra, Mukuru, Korokocho and Mathare are shocked that their brothers and sisters in the leafy suburbs might have taken personal hygiene for granted.

It’s simple basic rules to keep the deadly infectious disease Cholera at bay or ignore at your own risk and vanish within few hours of attack.
