More than half of Baringo residents are hungry and in dire need of relief food, Governor Stanley Kiptis has said. Kiptis said on Tuesday the situation has worsened since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in March. “Most activities were interrupted, forcing the majority of starving people to stay home,” Kiptis said. The governor said hunger has been worsened by flooding and bandit attacks that have displaced thousands of residents in Baringo North, Tiaty and Baringo South subcounties. Kiptis appealed for more relief food and supplies from the national government and well-wishers.
