Comrade Sagini🧢🔄

Today, I joined family, community members, leaders and mourners at Machilil, Kipkelion Ward, Kericho county to bid farewell to Benard Kiplangat Ngetich, beloved son of Alice and Joseph Bett. His brutal murder is a painful loss. I called upon security agencies to expedite investigations and ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice. May God comfort the bereaved family and grant them strength during this difficult time. May his soul rest in eternal peace. In attendance were Senate Majority Leader Hon. @Aaroncheruiyot , President's aide Farouk Kibet, Area MP Hon. Hillary Koskei, and several MCAs led by County Assembly Speaker Dr. Patrick Mutai.

The Government of Kenya continues to advance strategic investments in irrigation-led agriculture as part of its commitment to achieving food security, enhancing climate resilience and reducing reliance on rain-fed agricultural production. Today, senior government officials, led by the Head of Public Service, Hon. @koske_felix , accompanied by hosts of Principal Secretaries undertook an inspection tour of the Galana and Bura Food Security Projects to assess implementation progress, irrigation infrastructure development and operational readiness. The inspection focused on strengthening irrigation water management, expanding land under irrigation, improving agricultural productivity, optimising water-use efficiency and enhancing the utilisation of agricultural potential in these strategic schemes. These flagship projects are central to the Government’s broader agenda of increasing food production, promoting large-scale commercial agriculture, strengthening national food supply systems and building resilient, sustainable and productive agricultural value chains. @Irrigation_Auth @MOWSI_KE @TardaKE @tanawwda @WilliamsRuto @NAssemblyKE @WRA_KEN @mugaa_eric @JKorir_K @_KithureKindiki @Trade_Kenya @EphantusKim

The Government remains committed to protecting tea farmers’ interests, improving factory performance, strengthening accountability and ensuring better returns for farmers. Today, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development @CS_MoALD summoned four underperforming tea factories—Kapkoros, Chebut, Litein and Mogogosiek—following concerns raised by farmers over factory performance and their earnings. Each factory’s case was analysed individually, and corrective measures were agreed upon, including reducing operational costs, improving efficiency and strengthening accountability. The Ministry also directed that the SETET project supporting Litein Factory be fast-tracked to help address its challenges. Clear directives and implementation timelines were issued to each factory. Failure to meet the set targets will prompt further action, with the Government, through the Tea Board of Kenya (TBK), working with farmers to overhaul factory management where necessary. Prosecution will also be pursued where evidence establishes corruption, mismanagement or related malpractices. In attendance were @KTDAHoldingsLtd National Chairman Enos Njeru,@TeaBoardKenya CEO Willy Mutai, directors of the four tea factories and other key stakeholders. @MomulTea @KTDAFoundation @WilliamsRuto @kenaff_farmers @KeTreasury @KetepaLtd @citizentvkenya @AsnetKenya @kalromkulima @StateHouseKenya
