Drought ravaging northern Kenya

Drought has struck once again in northern Kenya. The new MPs must act swiftly to avoid a disaster. There is an acute shortage of water as pans, dams and wells have all dried up. Residents are today forced to trek long distances, approximately 30 to 50 kms, to fetch water. It is unfortunate that MPs from the affected region are yet to issue a joint press statement to alert the Government, the international community and well wishers on the current situation.
