Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has said that since he became the deputy president he has turned into a beggar.
Gachagua decried that begging for food is humiliating.
He said that his responsibility to mobilise food for the country has made him beg from foreigners.
"Since I became Deputy President I have become a beggar. I spend all my time begging for food. It is humiliating to me," the DP said.
"I spend all the time with foreigners begging for food including those who colonised us it is very humiliating but I have no choice because we can't let our people die."
The DP said that President William Ruto gave him the responsibility to mobilise food to rescue Kenyans.
He said Ruto gave him the responsibility of coordinating development partners and he will reach out to his friends and partners to source funds to maintain and renovate wildlife reserves.
While in Nanyuki for the cabinet retreat, Gachagua made three trips to trek Mt Kenya.
On Sunday, he was joined by Karungo Thang'wa of Kiambu and Methu Muhia of Nyandarua to trek up the mountain.
"They say the third time is a charm. Another morning, another chance to connect with nature. Another chance for introspection. Another chance to centre myself in appreciation of the task ahead of us in nation-building," he said.
He said that he discussed issues that face Kenyans when moving around the mountain.
