DP Rigathi further revealed that President William Ruto was set to flag off a consignment of relief food to various parts of the country.
"President William Ruto is this afternoon expected to flag off a consignment of relief food to various parts of the country," Rigathi stated.
This comes as President Ruto tasked Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to convene a meeting with Governors today to discuss the next steps for the counties affected by climate change.
The counties have seen the devastating effects of drought, which has rendered most of the food in the area unfit for consumption by the locals, who are now starving.
