Loima MP Jeremiah Lomurkai has urged the Turkana government to distribute relief food to residents to before they die from hunger. The county has announced that at least 640,000 people are in dire need of food as drought continues to bite. “If there were plans to supply relief food to the affected people then what is hindering them?” Lomurkai asked. He said the hardest hit areas were Turkana North, Kibish, Turkana West, Turkana East, Turkana Central and Loima. Public Administration and Disaster Management chief officer Esther Ikaru said the relief food was 4,925 metric tones worth Sh419 million.
