shida kubwa ni Afrika tunazaa ovyo ovyo...you find a guy in Turkana with 15 children and no job....how do you expect such a guy to feed all these children leave alone take them to school...then we die of hunger and desert countries come to our aid.....that my friends is a shame...a shame on us as Africans...

Hili mkuu watalifumbia macho!...siku zote huwaambia ukitazama ulaya plus nordic countries,wameweza kuwalisha na kuwapa maisha ya hali ya juu zaidi ,raia wao, kwasababu tu wanapanga uzazi!
They calculate their resources output commensurable to their population.
When it exceeds,they either find ways to exceed kipato or they clamp down on kuzaa zaa.....or they CULL, we HUMANS are just like ANIMALS.
Labor shortage is plugged by issuing green cards[NOT CITIZENSHIP] to bright geniuses who are born in poor overpopulated countries,thus they end up inventing great stuff for them,thus gaining on both ends.

Last time I checked, Kenya's also a desert country, 80% at least. The 17% arable bit hasnt enjoyed adequate rainfall for much of the year past, (forget not about the el nino), resulting in poor harvests.

Boy, this indeed is a country of whiners!

The thing is, 0.5% of that 17% can feed the whole east Africa if properly managed.
Wakenya hivi huko shuleni mlienda kusomea ujinga.?

Well, and why isnt Tanzanai feeding the whole region, with its 80% fertile lands?

Your country is also grappling with the vagaries of the drought that has struck this whole region.

Kenya is the leading exporter of agricultural goods in this entire region, churning out its goods from its meagre arable lands.

This is an indictment of the Kenyan leadership. Sometime in 2016 there was a lot of noise being bandied about how Kenya had scored big with the Galana Kulalu irrigation scheme project after a whooping 2.7 billion shilling deal was pumped into it from Israel.

Galana-Kulalu farm in Tana River County. The President has secured the backing of Parliament to proceed with the Galana-Kulalu irrigation plan.

In Summary

• An Israeli firm contracted by the government to undertake trials for the project will have access to the funds in the next few weeks.
• The government is now pushing the firm to deliver the 10,000-acre model farm by July, ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit.
• Apart from the loan, the Israeli Government is also providing an additional Sh3.5 billion grant for training.

A year later down the line we have nothing to show for it as Kenyans die all over the country from hunger.

UAE donates 150 tonnes of food for the hungry in drought-stricken areas

Trucks at State house yesterday carrying donations from the United Arab Emirates consisting of 150 tonnes of assorted foods in support of the Government’s drought mitigation measures.

United Arab Emirates has become the first to donate 150 tones of assorted food hardly a month after President Uhuru Kenyatta declared the drought situation a national disaster.

President Uhuru Kenyatta today said that the Government will continue enhancing drought mitigation measures to ensure all those affected are assisted.

He said the ongoing food and water relief, animal off-take and cash transfer programs are constantly being enhanced to support Kenyans to overcome the current hard conditions.

Uhuru had appealed for international aid to help mitigate the drought situation that has affected people, livestock and wildlife in several counties mostly in Northern,Coastal and far North Rift regions.

"Support from our partners would complement government's efforts in mitigating the effects of drought," the President said mid last month.

Yesterday Uhuru ,in a statement send to media said the government continues to expand the relief efforts so that no needy Kenyan is left out during the hard times.

“I take this opportunity to assure all Kenyans that the Government is doing all that is in its power to ensure that people in need are assisted,” said the President at State House, Nairobi.

The President spoke when he witnessed delivery of donations from the UAE in support of the government’s drought mitigation measures.

The middle-eastern country donated 150 tonnes of assorted foods worth Sh20 million to be distributed in drought affected regions.

The President said he appreciates foreign and local partners who have responded to the government’s appeal for support .

He government has already doubled relief efforts to cover 3 million people, up from the initial 1.3 million adding that it has also enhanced water trucking in the 23 arid and semi arid counties worst affected by the drought.

President Kenyatta recently gave a directive for all relief efforts to be streamlined under the Devolution Ministry to ensure synergy in delivering aid to needy Kenyans.

I am a Tanzanian but I disagree with you, a helping hand is not an insult rather a solidarity when USA was hit by katrina in North Carolina it was Germany who brought in the heavy-duty pumps to take out water out of the street but that doesn't mean USA were not capable... Remember no one wins a medal by rejecting help from other good friends so that it can be seen as a sign strength we are Africans we know our problems no birth control plus poor resource mobilization and management just take a chance and ask your self how many dummy projects have been created and what was the outcome? Most of our leaders will whistle that agriculture is the back borne of our economy but when you compare there effort towards modernising it u will score zero.....just Take all East africans out of our country and throw us somewhere in US or UK then bring those white people and let them live here for just 10 years for the resources available they will be in developed East Africa while we will be living in Stagnated US or UK because we have selfish leaders...... I think your article is politically motivated..
