Kenya is still food insecure: reportAccording to the Global Hunger Index 2018, the country still has “serious levels of hunger” with a score of 23.2 and a ranking of 77 out of 119 countries. The revelation is a smack on the face of the Jubilee Government that has put up measures to promote food security. "Despite huge challenges, Kenya has made significant progress in reduction of hunger and under-nutrition rate," reads the report in parts. The report recommends that Kenya should prioritize food security policies at county and national levels of governments. The ranking was based on undernourishment, child mortality, child wasting and child stunting.
