Opposition leader Raila Odinga's son Raila Junior Odinga has joined the heated conversation over hunger and drought that has hit several parts of the country.
Raila Junior has blasted the government on the matter in which it is handling the situation that has affected Kenyans in at least 12 counties.
In a tweet, the ODM leader's son said that the government must own up the worsening situation in Turkana county pointing out that it is not the media fabricated news.
He expressed his empathy over the images circulating on the social media stating that President Uhuru Kenyatta-led government must fix the menace before it escalates.
Raila Junior also insisted that the images going round are a true reflection of the situation contrary to Deputy President William Ruto's assertion that no Kenyan has died due to hunger despite drought biting hard.
"The Turkana hunger situation is not a fabrication of the media. The heartbreaking images you see is the actual situation on the ground that has to be fixed ASAP. In fact, media reports are to guide in the distribution of relief food and water," tweeted Raila Junior.
Turkana and Baringo are the most affected counties where several people are reported to have lost their lives even as the government insists that no Kenyan has died of hunger.
