The current food crisis is a global phenomenon. There are places where people have gone on strike – Haiti, Philippines and so forth.
Even in US there are retail outlets that have started rations – stock quot, like maximum packets of rice for every shopper.Â
Some countries in the middle east are negotiating with retail outlets not only because of shortage but also inflation. Some have rice stocks for 6 weeks!!
Back here, we have our own set of problems that compound this shortage. IDPs, bloated government, inadequate attention to agricultural production. Of course the violence led to a lot produce going to waste.
In addition to prayers as Amenya says, lets use the little we have. Lets start with our homes. Lets not waste food by all means. From purchasing, preparation to the way we preserve the leftovers (if there is any).Â
We shall overcome someday.Â
In the meantime, can we throw a challenge to people in the ministry of agriculture to return Kenya back in the map as a food surplus nation.
Cheers

The Kenyans must remember the word of the first president “RUDI MASHAMBANI”. Multinational corporations are going to starve the world’s peoples to death because of their control of world natural resources and sources of food!
