The National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) has released 5,222 bags of maize to the drought-stricken counties as the government steps in to avert a humanitarian crisis.

Managing director Albin Sang said the maize that had been released is destined for Turkana, Baringo and Isiolo counties, which have been badly affected.
