Kitui Deputy Governor Dr Wathe Nzau has warned that the continued invasion by desert locusts in Kitui might pose a serious threat in future — if the invasion is not properly handled, the COUNTY DIARY can now report.
The locusts eggs usually hatch in 21days and the nymph will ravage all vegetation as they are wingless & unable to fly.
Alternatively, the eggs may remain dormant for years & hatch when favourable condition become available.http://www.thecountydiary.co.ke
“As such, the desert locusts will become an endemic in Kitui County, hence need for emergency preventive measures, Deputy Governor Kitui, Dr Wathe Nzau has warned.
