The gesture by Safaricom,Kenya Commercial Bank and the media to open a emergence benevolent account to help hunger-striken Kenyans is laudable.However,the Government need to look at a bigger picture so as to alleviate the hunger and break the vicious cycle of deaths of human and livestock year in year out.It is important that measures are put in place so that Kenya is food secure whether rains are late or totally fail.Such measures include adopting better farming methods,diversifying on more foods,reviving stalled irrigation schemes,refforestation,training pastrolist communities how to farm,improving on logistics so as to move food from areas with bumper harvest to less endowed,constructing modern food storage facilities,harvesting rain water,etc.
