WFP Country Director Lauren Landis speaking when she met Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua at Harambee House Annex Wednesday said food and cash will be distributed under the Lisha Jamii Phase II programme between April and September, 2023.

“The second phase is (worth) Ksh 7 billion and we hope to make it Ksh 10 billion. This is substantial, but we still need more,” shesaid.
