More than 1.3 million Kenyans have been affected by drought, the government has said.
Kilifi, Kwale, Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Isiolo and Samburu are some of the worst affected
counties.
Devolution CS Mwangi Kiunjuri on Friday said they have established several inter-ministerial interventions to ensure no lives are lost as a result of the drought.
"These people are in need of relief food, cash transfers, water related interventions and health interventions," he said.
Speaking during a press conference in Nairobi, Kiunjuri said
the ministry has mobilised 20 extra water bowsers for emergency water supply in the most affected areas.
"We would like to assure them that the government is on top of this. There should be no alarm," he said.
"We will meet again in a week's time to take appropriate measures following the recommendations of the team," he said.
