PICTURE REBECCA NDUKU/DPPSDeputy President Wiliam Ruto says the government will cushion pastoralists from effects of drought under a special livestock restocking programme. “We will give Turkana residents 40,000 livestock for restocking. He called on leaders and administrators in all constituencies to ensure that only affected residents benefit from the relief food programme. At the same time, the DP said the government had set aside Sh1.6 billion for water supply in areas hard hit by drought. “More than Sh50 billion has been allocated to Turkana but residents still face lack of water and food,” he said.
