i think Nigeria wanted to revenge . An eye for an eye.

it just pathetic to know it was not on crime base but a paper work.

What happened ?

Yobeezy:
Where's kumamoto the anti Kenyan dude?

Why they trooping into kenya
A starving nation ??
I thought Tanzania was Paradise

Jonraid:
''Isimba's commissioning on Thursday brings the country's power generation capacity to 1167MW against a peak demand of about 600MW.

With a surplus that is unutilised, retail tariffs are likely to remain high.''

We once talked about this rvp2018,rvp20183

So this Is a case of oversupply

NairobiWalker1:
Trust me, Tanzanians will still be singing about it when your great grandson is your age. See how they arrogantly refer to South Africans as their children just because a few South Africans lived in Tz 50 years ago?

It is stupid to remind people everytime that you helped them
So what
Do you want to take back the help

XhosaNostra:
@bolded, well now it gets a little complex. Facepalm. Let me not say something because it may sound cold.
Just feed the ones that want to eat, the rest can starve until they shit water if that's how they wanna have it. Why are they being unnecessarily difficult? I wonder.

.
Dealing with pastoralists is difficult
The value they animals more than human life

Kazikazi:
Do u know 200 tonnes? Are you comparing 200 tonnes with 200 bags? Hohohohoho..

24 tonnes of medical supplies is not cheap! Do you know math?

You send that to 3 countries so divide it by 3
Tenda wema nenda zako
Stop always reminding people you helped this you helped that
Kenya has helped alot of countries and Kenyans don't remind everyone about it

XhosaNostra:
I agree with you, T. Now that you guys are making noise about it, hopefully, something will be done about it. It's just beyond words.
I look at those pictures & it's hard to imagine how it got so out of hand. All the best.

Relief food has been taken to them
As jonraid has said some of them are now saying they don't want food they want water for their animals

XhosaNostra:

That is the truth
Stupid leadership
Farmer harvested alot that govt stores could no longer hold they harvest
Maize even started even rotting in govt stores because there is more than enough
Food prices are low today compared to 2017 and 2018
So tell me where is the problem if not of our fcked up leadership

Kazikazi:
Just say, Uhuru and Ruto should be in jail.

Why should Uhuru be in jail

XhosaNostra:
Understood.

It is just about leadership
Some government officials need to be hanged
Food prices are going down in the market
All government stores are overflowing with food stuff
But some parts of kenya people are starving
Some people need to be shot

Kazikazi:
Why are you using your arable land to grow flowers for whites and not food for your people?

Why can't u use lake Victoria waters for irrigation?

Why can't you take Kenyatta's land and resettle those Turkana?

Flowers in Kenya are grown in naivasha
Naivasha is not arable the flowers they are grown in greenhouses and under irrigation
The only parts of kenya which are arable there are central not all of it
And north rift , kisii ,and western
And so far they are growing food which can feed them
The people of nyanza are using lake Victoria waters to irrigate they farms
Kenya has no food crisis it just poor leadership and corrupt leaders

XhosaNostra:
It's really not that difficult. It's done here all the time. You just have to plan it through, I guess.

You know the ethnic tensions in kenya
That would be difficult
And 3 quarters of the kenya population live in 10 % of kenya landmass
The other 90 % is where those hunger stricken people live
Their main economic activity is pastoralism so when drought hits them they starve
The govt should just give them acces to markets
Where they can sell they livestock and buy food

XhosaNostra:
Can't they be resettled elsewhere? If this is a recurrent issue, then perhaps rezoning is a solution.

It is difficult to resettle people you know
The only thing is build dams in those regions
And enhance the cattle market
Since those regions can hardly support any plant
Irrigation is out of the equation

XhosaNostra:
There's always a way around any problem. Good luck.

Yes

Kazikazi:
Hohohohoho..
Where is the source of Nile? Is it not from lake Victoria which you possess together with us? Why can't you use waters from Victoria for irrigation?

Kenya has too many resources..
Fresh water from Victoria lake,oil,phosphates,kaolin,Gold,lime,arable land,people,game reserves,ocean,rivers for hydro power,geothermal,etc

A country like mauritius don't have all those.But its way ahead with no starving population

Mauritius has around 1 million people
With favourable weather
Compare the amount of oil we have to Algeria's and Egypt's
How much does sodash and lime earn in the international market compared to diamonds of Botswana and Namibia

XhosaNostra:
The bolded is not true. Kenya has a huge potential, it just needs a different calibre of leaders, I think. Remember we also had the Zuma-years, which completely destroyed the country, financially. We're still recovering from that. With our current president, however, there's hope of achieving even greater things because he's not in it for the money. The man donated his own salary as the president of the country to a charitable cause. I think you guys also need someone as selfless, who'll put the country's needs before his own.
With that said, as an outsider looking in, your case is not a hopeless one. It can be fixed. You're already on track with many things, you just need to brush up on a few things. Hopefully in the future people will start voting with their heads, instead of this "Mtu wetu" nonsense. Sometimes it takes a few hard knocks to finally get it right. Those with sense will start seeing the bigger picture, sooner or later. You guys don't seem dof, so the future is full of promise.

It is just stupidity of kenyan leaders
The money was stolen which was meant to counter the situation
It is not about mtu wetu thing
Those areas are sparsely populated that is another major thing
One household here another is 10km away
It is always difficult to help

Kazikazi:
Which grass are you smoking?

Namibia is a desert nation,her arable land is just 1% but have you seen anyone dying from starvation in Namibia? What about Botswana? Is there any hunger in Botswana? Egypt? Algeria? Are they starving? No.

Namibia with all their developments, yet you don't see them shouting " we are ahead". But kibera with all your suffering,yet you claim to be ahead?

Those people have resources like from diamonds to oil
And river Nile in Egypt
Kenya has minimal resources to counter the situation
The biggest blames lies on our leaders

hoodedjaystrim:
Does 1.1mil sound that low a num to you? 1.1mil and you are happy? Last time I checked the poverty rate is higher there than in Nigeria so what's your point

Iam not happy
Iam just saying the truth
Kenya poverty rate is not higher than Nigeria stop lies
Kenya poverty rate is around 30% of 48 million people
Nigeria poverty rate is 70% of your population
Please argue with facts
The kenya govt need to pull up socks on our food security that is fact
Stop behaving as if nigeria has never experienced hunger

hoodedjaystrim:
I see you're in pain
Don't worry I will pray for you and the remaining 1.1mil Kenyans in Hunger

Kenya has a population of 48 million people
1.1 million people are facing hunger and starvation
This is partly to lack of rains which is a common occurrence in Kenya
The thing is only Ghanaians and south Africans
Are better than us

XhosaNostra:
To whom? Won't that go to the wrong pockets again? Pay them a personal visit if you must, but don't just piss your money away.

Kenya red cross society

XhosaNostra:
Hmmm Tylann, I really don't know what to say. Sigh. Hope you guys figure out a way to deal with the situation somehow.

I will donate money to save my country men as simple as that

XhosaNostra:
Run for elections then

Iam not a politician and i don't want to be one
The government allocated the money for that but people disappeared with the money
So

mtisTheQubit:
sasa watu kukaa ivyo nikama sio binadam..really..no one saw or heard about their situation...mafisi tu kula mali ya wananchi

Some people are really heartless i tell you

XhosaNostra:
Then do what was done in Cape Town during their recent drought problem, build desalination plants.

That is waste of money and resources
Floods occur in that region
Flood water can be harvested and be used
Desalination plants are expensive
Water pans can do better in that region

But we have idiots fools and heartless men in the name of politicians

mtisTheQubit:
msee nasikia machungu juu ya hii story..

It pains you know it pains very much
That my country men are dying of hunger
While a person somewhere stole 60billion which was meant to construct dams

mtisTheQubit:
an yet turkana water aquifers are estimated by experts to be the size of US state of Delaware..yes yes i know its salty but cant the govt do something about it

The water in turkana region are salty
Even if you sink a borehole you will just come up with salty water
The thing is the flood water can be harvested and put into good use

mtisTheQubit:
some fking sobs an their families..karma is a freak you know

Ruto and his cohorts are stealing money left and right for 2022 campaigns
Wakishikwa MTU wetu

TayserMahri:
Ruto, Nanok and Co.

Maybe that is why Uhuru is ignoring the whole thing

TayserMahri:
F the govt!

Yes fck the government
The question is who ate the money

kikuyu1:
I told someone the same this week! FYI, that county is THE LARGEST RECIPIENT OF GOVERNMENT FUNDS, AT LEAST HALF A BILLION USD SINCE 2013 with a million or so population.
Wtf!?

That governor is complaining the government didn't release funds in time
That county is huge and sparsely populated
The deputy president has said the government has released 2 billion kshs to contain the situation

rvp2018:
Maybe you've been to milder Eldama Ravine -Marigat. Not the real Baringo past Kabarnet. When you get to Turkana or Garissa - you'll disabuse yourself of any notion of agriculture. There is no soil there. Turkana is just stones....except for few river beds. Garisa & whole of NEP is sandy - from Ukazi in Mwingi. Turkana is fine with flooding because it mostly hilly rocks full of geckos and snakes. The North East is flat..and floods do serious damages..if there was anything to to damaged.

Honestly I won't blame anybody. Unless oil or diamond or some mineral underground was discovered and exploited there..no gov can justify the kind of expenditure it would be required.

With Turkana oil - that 30% that they will retain as oil expenditure will help feed them.

I have been there from lake bogoria all the way to turkana
Those areas cannot support any food crop
They are just stones thorny shrubs
But government should intervene or come up with with long lasting solutions
Maybe the oil will change the situations there

rvp2018:
I worked at UN during my formative career years - and I know a lot of interventions that were being done by gov, international agencies and NGOS in those areas. During that time I got a chance to fly around Turkana and North East Kenya. The moment you land in Turkana - the heat that hits you is incredible - I think during daytime temperatures rises as high as 40 celsius - and afternoon we had to take siesta despite UN offices there being air-con. That remind me the UN coordinator then was this bully Nigeria lady - Blessing or some name like that .. Anyway how people are even able to survive there on normal day to day is incredible. I could barely walk 10 minutes - without feeling like I was dying. At night - temperatures drops - but dusty wind starts.

Honestly I don't know what need doing. Already if you factor what gov and ngos spend PER CAPITA there it's A LOT.

I thought we had this figured out when cash transfer from mobile money became the main intervention there. Drought cycle there is nearly yearly.

Anyway I think until oil or diamond or gold is discovered in those Arid and Semi-Arid regions - it will be hard to justify spending any more money there. You easily cannot intervene in area where you find 1 or 2 person every 10kms in the most inhabitable places on earth.

Cold beer there taste so heavenly - I am still looking for the same experience.

I have been to all those areas iam in Nakuru
Baringo is just next door
Iam environmentalist
And i know our fckin government has failed us drought happen in Kenya yearly yet they are no long term solutions
The govt has released ksh 2 billion to feed the hunger stricken people that will not help again 2020 the cycle will repeat itself
For example the pekerra irrigation scheme in baringo encourages farmers to plant maize over sorghum and millet when drought comes all maize dry ups in the farms
Sorghum and millet are more drought tolerant than maize but since kenya seed company wants profits it fools farmers to plant maize in the end hunger strikes farmers
April is just next door the areas that are affected by drought noe will be hit with devastating floods
And all the water will go to waste instead of the water to be harvested and next year we will be here again fundraising for our starving brothers
