Former Deputy President and Rigathi Gachagua, now leader of the Democracy for Citizens Party, called on the government to declare the ongoing drought in North Eastern Kenya a national disaster. He warned that residents face acute hunger, water shortages, and lack of medical care as livestock die from thirst and starvation. Gachagua accused regional leaders of neglect and urged the government and international partners to urgently mobilize resources to avert a deepening humanitarian crisis.
