Political scavenging? Jubilee, CORD use relief food as bait for Coast

Residents of Mutesengo village in Kaloleni Sub-county wait for distribution of relief food at Mutesengo Primary School grounds. Questions abound the distribution of the relief food as Coast Jubilee and CORD leaders have largely turned relief food supply as a bait to lure starving crowds at campaign rallies.(PHOTO: GIDEON MAUNDU/ STANDARD)

Ms Taabu Karisa quenches her malnourished child’s thirst with the last drop of water in a bottle as she patiently waits the end of speeches by politicians so that relief food can be distributed.

She looks deeply lost in reverie and obviously not keen on the speeches made by leaders led by CORD leader Raila Odinga. Her worry is what her three siblings will have for super.
