Let's call it a season of so many hungers and it's got nothing to do with Kenya Kwanza's politics of unga. Well, perhaps it does, given that the timelines for the delivery of subsidised unga has been pushed to a year, from the projected 90-days during campaign season. So, hungry Kenyans are urged to defer their hungers until then.

But then, there is another side of the country that has yet to experience hunger, and I'm not talking about the folks in Nyandarua and other food baskets, where food is being fed to the cows, or left to rot in the farm, because it's not possible to take it to the market due to impassable roads and inter-county taxes.
