Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina has called for action to cushion citizens against the effects of the ongoing drought.
Ledama said leaders need to come up with a plan to help those who have been heavily affected, warning that failure to do so will lead to loss of lives.
In a statement on Friday, he also decried the decimation of domestic animals.
"We have homestead that have completely shut down! The drought has decimated our domestic animals! Our people are knocking on doors asking for food. Just food to survive !!!We must act now or else we are eliminated on this earth @joelenku @LinusKaikai @HonTuya," he said.
Approximately 4.3 million Kenyans are affected by the drought.
The country is facing the worst drought in 40 years due to failed rainfall in three to four consecutive years.
Speaking at CNN on Tuesday during COP27 in Egypt, Ruto said the State has to allocate funds meant for hospitals, drugs and education to feed the population.
