Malnutrition continued to pose a threat to the growth of children in Baringo County. The county's deputy governor, Felix Kipng’ok, regretted that two out of 10 children under the age of five years in the county are stunted. He advised every homestead to have a balanced diet to combat malnutrition, which affects the growth of children at a tender age. Eating well and following the proper nutritional diet, as expected, will reduce malnutrition cases in Baringo. He added that CHV will also train community members to understand malnutrition.
