Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku has issued a stern warning to grassroots leaders in drought-stricken areas against the misuse of drought relief resources. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that aid reaches those most in need.

• Ksh778 million has been disbursed by the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) to assist 133,000 people in eight counties.
• Key individuals involved include Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku and President William Ruto.
• The warning comes as projections indicate a potential increase in food insecurity affecting 3.3 million people across 23 ASAL counties if the upcoming rains underperform.
