Nairobi — Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has assured Kenyans that the government is implementing extensive measures to cushion farmers and safeguard national food security following below-average rainfall that has affected crop production in several key agricultural regions.

Speaking after chairing a high-level meeting with Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries at his official Karen residence on Friday, Kindiki said the government is closely monitoring the evolving weather situation and coordinating interventions to address both the current dry spell and the anticipated El Niño rains later this year.

He said the administration is determined to ensure that no Kenyan suffers from food shortages despite the challenging weather conditions.

"I assure the country that the government is seized of the matter of what has happened this season and what is projected to happen later this year. We are taking all possible measures to prevent any part of Kenya or any citizen from suffering from lack of food, famine and support farmers to make sure they don't get disrupted because of the unfavourable weather," Kindiki said.

The Deputy President noted that the poor rainfall experienced during the current growing season has significantly affected food production in some of the country's major maize-producing areas, prompting the government to roll out immediate mitigation measures.

Among the interventions under consideration is the conversion of failed maize crops into animal feed to help farmers recover part of their investment instead of losing the entire harvest.

"We are looking at modalities of using the crop that failed for making animal feed so that farmers can get some income from the crop even if it has not matured," he explained.
