President William Ruto has assured Kenyans that the government has put measures in place to protect the country from food shortages despite the effects of drought on food production.
Speaking during a meeting with more than 5,000 Kalenjin elders from the North Rift and South Rift regions at the Eldoret State Lodge in Uasin Gishu County on Monday, October 19, 2026, Ruto said the government was supporting farmers to sustain food production and keep the cost of food under control.
“For four years, God has blessed us with rain. We have supported farmers, and the cost of living has come down,” Ruto said.
