A New Zealander's offer of dog food to starving Kenyans is an insult, a Cabinet minister said yesterday. "It is an insult for somebody to think Kenya can accept food meant for animals," said Mr John Munyes, minister in charge of relief operations in the President's Office. "Such people should desist because we will be very careful in vetting the donations." Members of a local women's organization, Maendeleo ya Wanawake, said they were shocked by the report, describing it as the height of abuse to the Kenyan women and children.
