Without support we cannot feed the refugees

rs. Today we had a big discussion about the food. Although the Government promised us support, we still don't know if we get enough food for the refugees in the camp. Therefore we called everybody and tried to explain the situation. If we don't get food supplies from the Government side, the refugees have to look for themselves and we can give them only fresh drinking water and shelter. Our provisions are nearly finished and we need more supplies. We agreed that a delegation of the refugees will go to the DO (District Officer) on Monday to make their case. We will give them the money for the trip to Nakuru town. Let's hope for a good response; otherways I will have to intervene myself. As PS Dr. Nyikal spoke of collaboration on Thursday, we hope for a positive outcome of the problem.
