3.1 million Kenyans are starving, says President William Ruto
Mr Abdi Boru shows carcasses of cows that have died due to drought in Dabel village, Marsabit County on August 24, 2022. People in the area are staring at starvation.
President also trained his gun on developed countries about a fund they pledged to create in 2009 that would help developing countries cope with the effects of climate change but had not.
Dr Ruto noted that at the forthcoming COP27, Kenya will be taking a prominent role in calling for the actualisation of the climate change fund.
Dr Ruto said the climate change fund can ensure developing countries don’t have to divert resources into providing food and water like Kenya has done.
The government has reorganised its budget to cater for relief food in drought-stricken areas, President William Ruto has said.
Dr Ruto says 3.1 million Kenyans in northern Kenya are in dire need as a result of failed rains. Speaking with Al Jazeera in an interview aired yesterday morning, he also trained his gun on developed countries about a fund they pledged to create in 2009 that would help developing countries cope with the effects of climate change but had not.
