Kenya has stepped up measures to mitigate the effects caused by El Nino rains, which have resulted in over 20 deaths and missing individuals, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua said on Friday.

'The government has mobilised technical and financial resources to enhance the response to the floods," Gachagua told journalists in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.
