"As we speak here, more than 60,000 families cannot afford a meal a day, more than 450,000 heads of livestock valued at Sh13.6 billion are on the verge of death, and 75 per cent of wild animals have been affected and are already dying. We need to move with speed to save lives'' said Governor Lenku.
