Gachagua had earlier asked Kenyans of goodwill to donate a percentage of their salaries towards mitigating hunger in the country.
"Already, our men and women in the KDF have offered to forego a day's salary to contribute to the response kitty.
"We appeal to Kenyans of goodwill to contribute a percentage of their salaries to a pay bill number we shall be publishing soon," Gachagua stated.
