The Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has challenged developed countries to provide financial support to Kenya to enable it to sustain the stay of refugees in the country.
Speaking after meeting humanitarian assistance partners on Tuesday, Murkomen noted that Kenya is doing its part by hosting the refugees, something it has been doing for over three decades and it was only imperative that developed countries lend a hand by providing resources.
The meeting follows a protest by refugees on Monday where the asylum seekers were demonstrating the reduction in food portions provided by the World Food Program (WFP) which is now only able to offer 40 per cent of the basic minimum ration.
The demonstrations have spilled into the second week with the refugees demanding the reinstatement of essential supplies, which were cut due to funding shortages.
