Ford Kenya party leader Moses Wetangula has presented a motion of adjournment to the senate to give way for discussing the perennial hunger in the country.
In his statement, Wetangula reiterated his call to president Uhuru Kenyatta to declare the current situation a national disaster.
Wetangula has requested president Uhuru to deploy military to the affected areas to distribute relief food to the affected areas.
Wetangula challenged the government to divert funds wasted through graft towards viable projects that will see cases of famine become history.
He further questioned why Turkana county was unable to avert the crisis despite receiving big allocation of funds from the national treasury.
His motion was seconded by senate majority leader Kipchumba Murkomen who questioned why the government was allocating billions of shillings towards buying food stuffs for the affected families yet food was available in government stores.
