Pro hint: it’s not Bush
Doctors at Mutomo District Hospital in Kitui said the hospital’s morgue is overflowing with dead bodies as a result of the suicide surge, and its beds are full of survivors of suicide attempts.
Mukele, the psychologist in the region, said some suicidal farmers have harmed their families as well.
“Many farmers have even killed their own wives and children in the belief that they should not live in misery after their family land has been taken away. After killing their loved ones, they take away their life eventually. Other farmers have attempted suicide and they have found themselves in the wrong arm of the law since suicide remains illegal here in Kenya,” Mukele said.
And here we go!
“Climate change continues to affect food production in Kenya and it is here to stay. As a country we have depended so much on rain for our crops to grow. We have ignored the new available agricultural production technologies to boost food security and the confidence of farmers,” said Jimnah Mbaru, chairman of the National Cereals and Produce Board.
By climate change, we all know they mean anthropogenic global warming, rather than that natural stuff that has been going on just fine by itself for over 4 billion years. Heck, there are even AGW nutwads who have published a swimsuit issue involving melting ice and bikinis. Unshockingly, the models are rather, um, homely.
