Now one drought is enough to knock them out.
This legacy of ujinga na pombe

Never seen such lines for food in Nyanza or Western although the people there are "lazy" and not as hardworking as there counterparts in Mt. Kenya region.
-
Maybe because there has never been drought.
I recall at some point in 1990s - Kones then state minister brought maize to our place for relief - I guess pure old corruption.
Many people refused to go collect - saying it would be demeaning - schools were given the maize

Rise how? Who is the dimwit in Government sending the little food we have to Somalia?

How?

Kikuyu's were fooled. The kenyatta's and his cronies will get to keep all their loot while ruto works on getting his. This hustler narrative is turning into a fiction.

Not so fast. Ruto like Moi flies like butterfly sting like a bee; The frog is happy he is in sauna unaware he is being boiled; the water is boiling; as firewood is added; raila and opposition are now well done; you can put the fork on Raila; the dynasties and rest yao iko moto. Like they never saw before; they will not see; because Ruto is making them see what he wants; yesterday all of them were in statehouse being shown how to behave like human; with dignity; Moi would invite you for Mursik in Kabarak as he prepares your funeral.

Uhuru is directly responsible for this hunger,his polices and activities against mt kenya people created this sad state.

Tragic stuff and it ain't getting better for next year unless mass importation of maize and rice. Drop the damn duties and taxes! Put in 20 billions!
I am certain the same is happening in most urban slums. The economy has collapsed- no monies to buy food- just begging offline and online.
-
Uhuru is not president, these people are hungry now and looking for solutions. The underwhelming duo better come up with solutions quick or it’s one term and out. These two big toothed idiots are still out there singing about their win, in politics, you do not celebrate for too long, the democrats are about to be shellacked all the way from New York to Miami.

Why dont they zero rate rice? It plain obvious. Let Mwea farms go to loss but save the people the indignity of hunger

This legacy of Ufool. Uhuru and Azimio went to court - that was Sept. October is when Ruto started forming Gov. We are on 10th Nov. Miracles cannot happen. Ufool is squarely to blame for hidding this drought. It only Ruto who has worked on this....getting 200m dollars from US....that food being distributed now.

Look like Sakaja doing something about slum dwellers

Hunger is caused by poverty and distribution. People with money don't go hungry, so the biggest problem is poverty. Immediately what's needed is direct cash infusion, longterm the solution has to be increased productivity in agriculture.
-
Hungry people do not pay taxes, most likely do not have jobs or businesses. That is 70% of the youth in the country, find ways to create jobs, the nanny state only have limited resources not unless we go back to begging on our knees like Moi era, still that does not provide any long term solution. The one thing USA has done right is employment, at 13, you can start earning an income, drive at 16 and at 18, after high school, you can get a job with enough money to live on independently. That’s American exceptionalism.

Western is an extension of Uganda. Food literally falls from trees figuratively speaking.

Drought is natural disaster. Nothing can prepare anyone for four years of failed rains. It should be treated as a disaster. Even if food is plentiful and cheap - the drought will have long devastated their source of livehood...either farming or livestock.
We need to improve our disaster management through quick cash transfers and such programs. Crop and livestock insurances need to be made complusory for these people.
Long term is to build more resilience - and move the younger folks away from agriculture to urban centers.
The urban poverty is lack of money. The rural is more drought.

Yes it like DRC or somewhere very wet - as long as they dont face drought - they will always be fine.

You voted for him 3 times and now crying. Think twice next time you vote.
Btw, those now running Kenya were with him the 3 times you voted for him.

Cannot understand why we still have duty on rice.
Harassing journalist for covering residents scrambling over msaada jut gives the deep state media remnants cannon fodder. They will milk the incident. The police slapping the journalist need to have his day in court.
This Mwangi has been filing very good quality stories from Murang'a even for rabid Nation.

Mandate each county to have minimum of 3mos of food in storage, if they dont take the money that was allocated back. An online app to track daily storage can be used to track. Also pay men to have vasectomies and women to have tubes tied. too many people not enough resources.

Short rains have failed. It is a race to the dehumanising bottom.

It is unbearable with Hasla seemingly overwhelmed.
Residents said the trend is of grave concerns and called on the government to address the region.
"We are losing so many people especially males to suicide and something urgent should be done to prevent such deaths," one of the residents Stephen Kigochi said.
Spiritual leaders observed that hardly a week passes without reported cases of suicide in the region.
They blamed the problems on depression occasioned by economic hardship.
"When people fail to meet their financial obligations they become depressed and consequently they take their lives," said Pastor Simon Njogu of Victory Church.

The price of unga and foodstuff must be lowered asap sio ujinga wa pombe na, raila.

We're almost in depression era economy, radical solutions are needed. If the long rains fail coupled with high cost of living, that'd be a full blown recession with devastating consequences.

Bantu chose crops for the sake of peace. Maize, avocado, and macadamia nut thefts were minor incidents over the years. This is now insane in Njuri land. Maize theft gangs.
