More than 50,000 hectares of farmland in Marsabit County faces severe threat of being decimated by the desert locusts that have continued to ferociously destroy vegetation cover.

The recent invasion by locusts that originated from the neighbouring counties Wajir and Mandera have sent more than 80 per cent of the county’s agropastrolist population in panic.

Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries executive Mohammed Omar told Nation that the locusts, which came into the county through Shurr, landed on at least six roosting zones spreading over 70 kilometres from Qubi Qallo to Dogogicha in Sagante-Jaldesa.

While appealing for timely intervention by the national government, Mr Omar said the county’s farmland and pasture zones are at grave risk, noting that within 15 minutes of their landing at Dogogicha, the insects had already decimated vast swathes of farmland.

Western Australia's first tropical cyclone of the summer has developed off the northern coast with heavy rain and strong winds to batter the Kimberley region.

The system could also bring some rain to fire-affected areas, including the blaze which has forced the closure of the Eyre Highway in the state's east for several days.

The Bureau of Meteorology's Neil Bennett said the cyclone's expected path would take it into WA's southeast and close to the fires which continued to burn.
