About 900,000 of the three million residents of the capital’s informal settlements are starving, a survey indicates. 500 HOUSEHOLDSThe survey was commissioned in December 2017 and released in February, however, it was not made public until yesterday. To make the projection of 900,000, 2,000 households were surveyed in 30 informal settlements, including Kibera, Mukuru, Kawangware, Korogoco and Mathare. Last month, the county invited private investors to submit letters of interest to re-develop 24 informal settlements, including the largest slum, Kibera, said to be the largest urban slum in Africa. The county and Oxfam, the Red Cros and other organisations have already put together a Sh30 million budget to help those starving.
