The State should not kill Kenya’s agricultural sector in exchange for a show of loyalty to a neighbouring nation.
I can’t imagine Kenya importing sugar from Uganda! We used to have several sugarcane firms in Kenya which catered for the entire nation.
When did Kenyans stop agriculture? No wonder that is why I do no longer see real agricultural shows. The current exhibitions are mere trade fairs for adverts and nothing for agricultural show.
I equally get perplexed when I see trailers everyday loaded with maize from neighbouring Tanzania waiting to board ferries at the Likoni channel. Where did the maize granaries of Kenya go? We need to rethink where we are heading to.
We can’t kill our once flourishing agriculture and say all is well and just decide to buy and import foodstuffs from other countries.
If the founding fathers of our nation woke up from their graves today, they would be shocked because they won’t believe what is happening in the same Promised Land they once lived in.
