Kenya Defence Forces soldiers have started distributing livestock feeds to herders in the most affected villages in Turkana along Kenya's border with Uganda, Ethiopia and South Sudan. County Commissioner Stephen Ikua received three trucks loaded with livestock feeds on Thursday before flagging off the consignment to the most affected remote villages. The villages are located in Loima, Turkana West, Turkana North and Kibish sub-counties. Mr Ikua said that besides livestock feeds, the national government is also distributing 9,000 bags of maize, 3,000 bags of rice and 3,000 bags of beans. "We will be distributing relief supplies after every two weeks or a month depending to the situation at every locality," he said.
