Turkana County Assembly Members are expressing strong concerns regarding the slow and inefficient response to a severe drought impacting all 30 wards of the county. The drought has led to widespread food insecurity, with over 120,000 households urgently needing relief.

• An estimated 322,000 residents remain without aid due to logistical challenges and bureaucratic delays, with relief food reportedly trapped in government warehouses.
• Key figures expressing these concerns include Lokichar MCA Samwel Lomodo and Turkana West MP Daniel Epuyo.
• Delays in distribution, including a four-month wait in some areas, and the lack of funds for transportation of food to remote villages are central issues highlighted by the MCAs.
