Kenyans are mad with Uhuru for empathizing with cyclone victims, but not for Starving Kenyans

​Watch also the video below! Kenyans, not just on Twitter, are extremely angry with President Uhuru Kenyatta for sending a message of condolences to the victims of the Cyclone Idai in Southern Africa, but forgetting about Kenyans at home!
​​President Uhuru Kenyatta, through his Twitter handle, on Wednesday sent a message of condolences to President Filipe Nyusi of Mozambique and President Peter Mutharika of Malawi following the cyclone which has affected the two countries.
“To my friends Presidents @FNyusi, @edmnangagwa & Peter Mutharika, Kenya stands with you and your people as you mourn and recover from the destruction” part of the President Kenyatta’s tweet read.

I condole and pass my message of encouragement to the people of Southern Africa who are suffering devastation from Cyclone Idai. To my friends Presidents @FNyusi, @edmnangagwa & Peter Mutharika, Kenya stands with you and your people as you mourn and recover from the destruction.

— Uhuru Kenyatta (@UKenyatta) March 20, 2019
The message, however, only helped to stoke the anger of Kenyans on Twitter who reminded the president that they are Kenyans who are reportedly dying of hunger and starvation.
Several people have reportedly died of hunger-related complications in Baringo and Turkana County, while thousands are said to be facing starvation.
The region has faced food crises over the years, even as the Government tries to downplay the gravity of the situation.

FFECTED AREAS
​

Deputy President William Ruto has denied claims of hunger-related deaths in the affected areas.
Other counties at risk include Isiolo, Garissa, Wajir, Kilifi, Baringo, Marsabit, Tana River, Samburu. Mandera, Kitui, and Makueni.
So far President Kenyatta has not been drawn into the matter.
Here are some of the reactions by Kenyans on Twitter:

Mr. president you have forgotten several Kenyans who have died from hunger and drought in turkana baringo and some parts of this country, or Kenyans are children of a lesser God???

How about the deaths and sufferings being recorded in the country! Ama those are just but the voters who are used and dumped until they are needed again. There's so much failure in this country, all from the top. We're bleeding sir. Wanjiku is fed up @MukamiWaEmbu

Thats very ironical,our own are dying because of hunger and you have not sat down with them leave alone standing with them. I pity my fellow Kenyans, but we are the people and we are taking notes.

Failure to plan is planning to fail. With all the hype of food security in your campaigns and now people are dying out of starvation. Put your priorities right sir otherwise your legacy is at stake. #KenyanLivesMatterToo
