NAKURU， Kenya， Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- Kenyan experts are suggesting for possible resilient ways households can absorb effects of famine after the government declared ravaging drought a national disaster.

More than 2 million Kenyans in 23 counties including farmers and pastoralists are wallowing in difficulty times due to extreme hunger which has now extended into non-arid and semi-arid areas (ASALs).

And early childhood development officials in the Ministry of Health have warned of a worsened scenario of malnutrition among the below five years children.

There are no official data on people who have died due to the starvation but local leaders in the affected counties have claimed some famine mortalities.

While in northern Kenya， pastoralists have lost more than half of their livestock according to the elected leaders.

Tom Nyamache， an economics lecturer at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology， said on Sunday the drought phenomenon has a broad impact on the economy.

He said the scarcity in food and pasture translates to a rise in the prices of basic commodities forcing an upward push on inflation.

"This means people have to spend a lot of money to buy the most basic needs. Nothing is left to save or invest as the economy shrinks. There is no expected productivity from people who have absolutely nothing to eat，" Nyamache said.

However， households would manage to pass the scarcity period if they set aside finances for emergencies such as prolonged drought， he said.

"It is important to encourage people to save for the tough times. They can use that money during drought to buy food. It is about encouraging people to practice proper financial systems so that what they make does not all go into expenditures，" added Nyamache.

He said it is the duty of the government to create an enabling climate for elimination of poverty from the households so that they are able to generate enough income for daily use and saving.

"There must be a proactive mechanism in which people are continuously stimulated to be productive such that they are generating a surplus which can be in the form of food or money. The surplus becomes the stock to survive on in the future，" he said.

"But when people rotate around the same problems， the same challenges all the years， life never changes and poverty becomes stagnant in homes，" he added.
