Its now almost 24 months since we last received the last drop of rain in Turkana county-kenya especially Turkana North Constituency. Everything came to a mess ranging from livestock to people.
Nothing was in a good shape. Animals started dying, and soon hunger was going for the people. The whole sub county was in panic and people had started going to other sub-counties for refuge.
The lake side was also promising of food and water for both people and animals but insecurity was the order of the day. People became desperate and politicians took that to their advantage.
They never employ the sons and daughters of the peasants but give theirs monthly earning jobs.
What they bring to the peasants is maize, maize flour and some small goodies that won't even take them through to two days.
They do this so as to get their votes and take high offices in government. After assuming office, they would keep quiet for the five year term and come back again to the people for votes.
We need to educate our people. To be able to choose good leaders who can transform their livelihoods.
