Mr James Nguranya lies inside his hut at Akwichatis village in Silale, Tiaty constituency in Baringo County. He is too weak to stand and too frail to speak.
His eyes are sunken. Alone, and with nothing to eat, he stares at nothingness outside through the spaces of his small hut, hoping for someone to offer him something to eat.
According to an administrator who accompanied the Saturday Standard team, Nguranya has done this for the past four days, and the results of his feeble, dart-eyed forays from the relative comfort of the grass-thatched hut have been the same nothing.
