At least 3.4 million Kenyans are facing starvation, the most at risk counties beingIsiolo, Kilifi, Turkana, Wajir and Tana River.

Kenya Red Cross Society Secretary General Abbas Gullet reported this on Tuesday and asked well-wishers to help.

"After the long and short rains failed last year, many counties were hit by persistent famine and drought," he said.

Gullet announced that on Thursday, Red Cross will launch a revised appeal to mobilise Kenyans to donate.

"The government must invest heavily in long term food security solutions in dry areas and emphasise irrigation," he said.

He spoke when he paid Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga a courtesy call at his office.

The Governor is the Kenya Red Cross Society patron for his county.

“We are committed to working together with Nyeri on matters of disaster management, health, water and food security,”Gullet said.

Kahiga noted his government has a disaster management policy and that every sub-county will have a fire engine as two more will be bought soon.

"A Chief Fire Officer will be hired and staff will undergo training. More ambulances will also be bought," he said.

Tunataka mkubaliane na ukweli wa msisha yenu ili muanze kuishi maisha asilia, anzeni kujenga nchi kuanzia chini kwa kuanza na basic needs za binadamu ambazo ni; chakula,maji safi na salama makazi, security, huduma za Afya, ajira, elimu na umoja wa kitaifa. Achaneni na mambo yanayoleta sifa za kijinga kama majengo marefu, viwanja vya ndege vya counties, Flyovers, Lamu port, Sgr na Mombasa Nairobi high way, hivi vinaweza kusubiri hadi uchumi utakapokua mzuri.

Yeye anajua 'facing starvation' kwa kiswahili ndo inamaanisha wanakufa. Hajui kiangazi ndo kimeleta haya yote, kama mvua ingenyesha ungeibuka na zile nyuzi zake za sijui alshabaab wataua wakenya wote. Kuna watz wana roho mbaya sana.
