Strange incident. Sure, this is lympoedema (swelling of the feet). Could be due to Filariasis (LF), but again it could be any other cause, especially given that the area is not endemic for LF. The national #NTD program at @MOH_Kenya is planning a quick survey to confirm then act.

GAELF congratulates Malawi on eliminating lymphatic filariasis. Malawi’s commitment over 10 years to reach elimination is impressive. The national and local teams have been outstanding.
