Pastoralists in Northeastern have been advised to start selling their livestock to avoid losing them during the looming drought season. Residents and livestock mostly rely on water pans, some of which have dried up. Speaking at the Garissa livestock market, Amey urged the government to truck water to areas where there is scarcity or water pans have dried up. Already, Wajir has this financial year allocated Sh150 million to tackle drought. Amey further wants NDMA to ensure pastoralists get hay and drought pellets.
