Lieutenant Colonel Kester Craig meets with Renita Ignatius of Hururu

Following a visit to Region Ten last week, the Director General of the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) while pleased with his agency’s efforts, remains concerned about the infrastructural damage and continued impact of the persistent flooding.

According to a release from the CDC yesterday, Lieutenant Colonel Kester Craig visited the area on August 13 and 14 to observe and assess the flood-affected communities.

“The visit began by engaging the CDC supervisory and support staff who are responsible for shelter management, impact monitoring and hamper distribution (hamper distribution is spearheaded by Regional Authorities with assistance from the CDC),” the release stated.
