Recently I watched the local TV news and what I saw was not pleasing as thousands of residence living in Turkana die due to hunger strike. They are living as they are in another world not in Kenya since things there are completely different. The residences there are not the only one who is affected by the hunger but also their animals too.
They lack water as this area is dried up and the only water they get is from those people who came to sell for them after every ten days. They have to use the water wisely which is twenty litres per family.
They lack other facilities like healthy centres, schools, means of transport, and poor infrastructures among others. Since they live a nomadic life due to search for pastures for their animals.Children do not go to schools they have to look after the animals and if they afford to go the schools they have no class rooms they learn under the trees.
They lack teachers and stationeries. Another major problem is healthy centres where by when one is ill you have to work mile of kilometres to look for one and if you are lucky you will be treated since they lack medicine and other equipments.
The government is doing nothing about these issues. The government should provide them with foods, cloths and shelter. Instead they government should build up schools so that these children can be educated as they are the leaders of tomorrow.
The Big Question still remains where is the Government?
