In response to the ongoing hunger crisis in some parts of Machakos County, I today flagged off food donations from the National Government for distribution to the various Sub-Counties in Machakos County.
The donations are expected to address short-term hunger issues, reduce malnutrition, improve students’ school attendance and mitigate the burden occasioned by the high cost of living.
Our mid-term and long-term measures to deal with the perennial hunger issues are on course and already extension agricultural officers are equipping farmers with hands-on skills on climate smart agriculture to enable them to increase their yields despite unpredictable weather patterns.
During the flagging off ceremony today at my office, I was accompanied by Machakos County Commissioner, Ms. Rhoda Onyancha and Deputy Governor Francis Mwangangi among other government officials.
