MET Apologise for miscommunication on El Nino

The Kenya Meteorological Department has apologised to Kenyans for miscommunication over El Nino rains.

Earlier, the department had predicted that El Nino would hit the country from mid-October to December.

However, President William Ruto said the country will not experience El Nino rains as earlier predicted.

The information from the President and Met confused Kenyans on whether there will be El Nino or not.

In a press conference, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua asked Kenya Met Director David Gikungu to clear out the confusion.

Gikungu said that it has been confirmed the country is experiencing El Nino at the moment.

“I want to point out that as initially given in the forecast, we have El Nino in this short rains season 2023 and we do apologise for the miscommunication because that was a big mistake but we are sorry about that,” he said.
