Nyatike MP Tom Odege and flood victims in the constituency have accused the government of hoarding relief food and diverting it to less needy areas. With heavy rains pounding the country since October last year, over 600 families have been displaced without any relief food. “We have been getting promises that relief food was to come to residents,” Odege told the Star on the phone yesterday. “The government, through the relevant ministry, has chosen to play politics in issuing relief food to undermine leaders in the constituency by hoarding food,” Odege said. “We already shared 84 bags of relief food and gave a Sh5,400 cash transfer to cushion over 400 families in affected areas.
