Highly destructive Army Worms might lead to unga prices shooting up again

Kenya is staring at a major food security crisis thanks to the army worm invasion.

The worms are devouring acres of food crops in 13 counties and spreading fast to other counties. The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries has sounded the alarm and advised farmers to take immediate action to combat the pest that has capacity to cause up to 100 per cent crop destruction. The invasion complicates a situation already compounded by a prolonged drought.
