More than 1,000 livestock have died of starvation in Baringo as residents in IDP camps housing victims of banditry complain of hunger. The deaths were reported between Monday and Wednesday in Bartule, Chapin, Kaporion, Rondinin and Siblilo in Baringo North, and Nyimbei and Tuyotich in the South. They said they have only received a little food from the government and well-wishers. Baringo North assistant county commissioner Njeru Ngochi said 450 IDPs in Bartabwa need relief food urgently. “I don’t even have an official vehicle to help transport food,” Ngochi said.
