Lest we forget; millions could die of hunger

While the country is deeply engrossed in the unfolding, yet unending drama of politics and the matter of illegal land acquisition at the coast, the pangs of hunger and a drought that appear not to have registered with the political elite continue to claim lives.

The Kenya Red Cross says four people have died of starvation in Baragoi, Samburu County. These deaths are reported to have occurred last week. The numbers given are official figures that fail to capture the actual data because it is said more people have died at Logetei.
