Devolution ministry receives Sh1b emergency kitty to cushion 1.5m people from hunger

After evaluating the impact of the failed long rains, the Government has allocated Sh1 billion to help counties in arid and semi-arid areas (Asals) fight hunger, Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru has said.

Ms Waiguru said more than 1.5 million people have been affected and will get food aid until March next year before coming up with a sustainable long-term solution.
