    "content": "their houses. We have children below five years who are suffering. Families do not have water, milk or anything in their houses because animals have crossed borders to Ethiopia and Somalia. We do not have animals around there. Those that are there are very weak and are dying. The media has not covered this disaster. If you go to those constituencies, you will not eat food for the next five days because of the situation you will face on the ground. It is not only important to declare drought as a national disaster, but to follow the declaration with action. His Excellency the President declared the drought a national disaster but nothing has followed. That is the problem. Our appeal is to go beyond this country. The Kenyan Government has taken responsibility. It took oath to protect, support and reach out to the vulnerable communities in this country. When we have problems in the tea and coffee sub-sectors, the farmers always get subsidies. When it comes to livestock, which is the backbone of the economy of the affected region, we do not have a proper plan and strategy to address the problems that are facing the community."
