Reports that more than 15 million Kenyans are facing hunger aggravated by poverty and a surge in cost of living should worry us all.
It should concern the country when poor policies, misplaced priorities and economic inequalities allow food shortage to threaten the very existence of significant portions of our population. What should prick our collective consciousness even more is that in the 21st Century and with reliable data by the UN and local experts, our country is still in the throes of avoidable crises yet those in authority never seem to learn from past blunders.
