They should also maintain a strategic preserve of stocks purchased from district to sell to farmers during the dry period A permanent solution to the water crisis in Mutomo should be sought Initiate livestock upgrading programs A base line survey on the viability bee- keeping enterprises in the district should be conducted Plans for destocking campaigns should be established The current fruit production potential within the district should be well harnessed for improved productivity Current Interventions Food Interventions Distribution of food to the vulnerable groups in Yatta, Ikutha & Mutha divisions by ADRA Kenya Occasional distribution of food to vulnerable members of the community by GoK UN WFP is preparing communities in the mixed farming livelihood zone to undertake food for assets projects Non Food Interventions Development of water storage facilities by German Agro Action Setting up Micro-irrigation projects along Tiva & Athi Rivers by ALRMP & ADRA Kitui project Communities have started preparing their horticultural plots along the river banks Livestock vaccinations against black quarter in Mwitika Sensitization on food storage and disposal by the department of agriculture ADRA is loaning farmers to support both on-farm and off-farm activities- enable farmers access inputs and carry out trade. Farmers are currently selling mature livestock and use the proceeds to buy yearlings that can better survive a long dry spell The Catholic diocese of Kitui through their food security programme are conducting field days to sensitize farmers on post harvesting technology & creation of market linkages DASS is training farmers on farming as a business Feed conservation campaigns by the ministry of livestock 1.0 STABILITY 1.1 Rainfall Rainfall data -Kitui district 600 500 400 300 200 100 Rainfall in MM in Rainfall 0 JFMAMJJASOND Base Year 2004-2006 34 1 1 57 77 5 1 4 8 84 545 201 2007 98 8 107 240 36 Month Light showers of rainfall were received in the district during the month of May in various locations in Central, Chuluni, Matinyani and Yatta divisions. The rains were spatially poorly distributed. The wet days managed to nurture the on-field crop particularly pigeon peas to flower and pod. In addition it supported the dry planted maize in tussling. The trend is not normal. 1.2 Natural vegetation and pasture condition Pasture situation remained stable compared to the previous month. However the situation is expected to start declining following poor performance of the long rains. The natural vegetation responded well to the onset of rains and some good regeneration could be observed in areas along Yatta plateau and sections of the mixed farming agricultural livelihood zone. As you drift towards Ikutha division within the marginal mixed farming livelihood zone the vegetation situation is worsening -both the pastures and natural vegetation are drying –up. To supplement the natural vegetation, farmers in most parts of the district are busy constructing hay burns for forage preservation. 1.3 Water Sources and Availability Waters stress is being experienced in the marginal mixed farming livelihood zone –Mutomo and Ikutha divisions. A 20 litre Jerrican of water in Mutomo is retailing at Kshs.20. Most of the earth pans are drying up and the distances to water points are fast increasing. Communities have started utilizing their strategic reservoirs particularly the rock catchment tanks, which is an indication that these regions are going to experience water crisis earlier than normal. In the mixed farming livelihood zone water is accessible and within reach. 1.4 Implication on Food Security The rain pattern depicts a bad future food security image. The currently planted crop is going to wilt an event that is going to drastically reduce the current food reserves. Generally, the pastures and natural vegetation are good and have sustained good livestock body conditions. The water situation has slightly negatively affected the food security situation. The increased return distances to the water points are consuming productive hours that could be invested in other enterprises. Soon it is expected to start weakening livestock. Due to congestion, the quality of water has been compromised and soon could lead to outbreak of water born diseases. 2.0AVAILABILITY 2.1 Livestock Body Conditions Generally, the livestock body conditions are good. There has been great recovery from the effects of RVF & LSD after mass vaccinations carried out in the district during the first quarter of the year. This situation is attributed to the availability of livestock feed in the grazing fields and access to water. 2.2 Livestock Diseases During the month incidences of Newcastle attack on poultry were reported in the marginal mixed farming livelihood zone. This according to the farmers is causing a lot of losses particularly in Mutha & Mutomo divisions. During the time of vaccination for cattle and goats, poultry which was equally susceptible to diseases was ignored and thus the upsurge in attacks. 2.3 Crop Production 2.3.1 Timeliness & Status of Crop An estimated 30% of the farm families planted in the district, majority being from the mixed farming livelihood zone. The planted crop is at various stages. The early planted maize crop in parts of Chuluni, Central and Matinyani divisions is tussling stage and is experiencing a lot of moisture stress. Elsewhere in Mutonguni, Ikutha Mutomo and Mutha for the few farmers who planted Maize is 1 foot high and drying -up. Few households within the mixed farming livelihood zone are consuming fresh beans from their farms. Pigeon pea crop in the field is doing fairly well. The early maturing variety is being harvested whereas the late maturing is flowering and has started exhibiting signs of moisture stress. 2.3.2 Pests and Diseases Cases of American bollworm & thrips infestation in pigeon peas were reported in Mutonguni, Chuluni and Ikutha divisions. Isolated incidences of weevil infestation in stored maize were reported in Mutitu and Mwitika. 2.4 Impact on Food Security The improvement in livestock body condition has ensured that farmers get good returns – from sale proceeds, milk and quality meat. The availability of pigeon peas has remarkably increased the food stocks at the household level as well as forage for livestock-farmers are spending little on food supplies. 3.0 ACCESS 3.1 Livestock Marketing 3.1.1 Cattle prices Average household cattle prices -Kitui district 22000 20000 18000 16000 14000 12000 10000 8000 6000 4000 2000 Price per head in Kshs 0 JFMAMJ JASOND Base Year 2004-2006 9514 8929 1078 1219 1301 1060 9786 7283 6528 6857 7796 8562 2007 7,675 7,200 8350 6000 20,43 Month The average price of cattle considerably rose -up. This improvement is attributed to improved livestock body conditions. It is also important to note that farmers are holding food stocks from the previous seasons harvest and are not under any pressure to dispose their livestock. Following the failure of the long rains farmers are wary of losing their mature stocks thus they have slowly started disposing them to acquire young stocks that require less feed to survive the drought. The trend is not normal. 3.2.2 Goat prices Average household price of goats -Kitui district 1600 1400 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 Price perhead in Kshs 0 JFMAMJ JASOND Base Year 2004-2006 1186 1300 1371 1507 1400 1225 1118 837 855 955 1037 1205 2007 1214 1173 1350 1306 1372 Month The price of goats remained within the previous months ranges. This stability is attributed to availability of food stocks at the household level and plenty of natural vegetation for the goats to feed on. The trend is not normal. 3.4 Crop Prices 3.4.1 Maize prices Average price of a kilo of Maize-Kitui district 20 16 12 8 4 0 Price per Kilo in Kshs in Kilo per Price JFMAMJJASOND Base Year 1998-2006 17 17 15 15 15 16 16 17 17 16 16 16 2007 18 17 8 8 8 Month The price of maize remained stable. There is little or no fluctuation in the demand and supply of the crop in the market. The opening of the NCPB buying centre at the district to offer better prices has not saved he situation. Farmers are not willing to sell their produce on credit. Quite a good number of farmers are stocking a lot of food and middlemen are taking advantage of the situation.

  • Explaining Resource Use, Management and Productivity Among the Akamba, Orma and Somali in the Former Eastern Statelands of Kenya
    ©Kamla-Raj 2004 Stud. Tribes Tribals, 2(1): 55-63 (2004) Common Range, Different Tribes: Explaining Resource Use, Management and Productivity among the Akamba, Orma and Somali in the former Eastern Statelands of Kenya Dickson Mong’are Nyariki1 and Jan Van den Abeele2 1. Department of Range Management, University of Nairobi P.O. Box 29053, Nairobi, Kenya Email: [email protected] 2. Forestry Development Support Programme, Belgian Technical Cooperation, P.O. Box 30513, Nairobi, Kenya KEYWORDS Common use; range management; resource conflicts; Eastern Statelands; Kenya ABSTRACT This paper describes the major livelihood activities of three ethnic communities who use in common the former Kenyan Eastern Statelands. It also looks at how the livelihoods and the range could be improved while maintaining the common access to resources, so as to avoid potential conflicts. It is suggested that for improvement of range management the unsettled lands should be accessed by all the communities under ranching societies without having to exclude non-members. A number of approaches should be instituted, including bush control and reseeding. Bush control can be achieved through exploitation of trees of low timber value for charcoal production to earn income for households. To increase livestock productivity, it is proposed that proper livestock and grazing management be practised, including the introduction of superior breeds, improved livestock facilities, adequate animal healthcare and rotational grazing through paddocking. INTRODUCTION and improve the living standards of the communities, the stakeholders and development The colonial government in Kenya set aside agents should rethink the use and management the former Eastern Statelands for State of this resource.

It does not represent a position from the United Nations. I. General Overview Discussions are ongoing within the Grand Coalition Government to determine the structure and respective powers of the President, Prime Minister and Vice President. The Government composition is intended to ensure a genuine coalition is formed, with the representation required to arbitrate disputes. The Prime Minister traveled to Kisumu District in the Nyanza/Western Region, where support for his party, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), is strong. During his tour, the Prime Minister stated that a new constitution would be prepared within the year. Land legislation and past grievances continue to drive conflict throughout Kenya; as a key element of Agenda Item Four, which will include longer-term solutions to the drivers of conflict, the new constitution is expected to address land legislation. A Review of the Post Election Crisis Damage and Needs Assessment of the Land Sector by the Development Partners Group on Land in Kenya yielded many findings that must be addressed through the anticipated National Land Policy to ensure sustainable peace.
