It’s now without any doubt that Kenya Tea Development Authority Chairman David Muni Ichoho has proved that he is equal to the task.

He is the gentleman who has sought the best interests of our farmers. He has been out and about seeking new markets and calling for value addition so as the tea can fetch better prices.

Mr. Ichoho notes

“Good news to our tea farmers! The government of Pakistan has honoured our request to consider tea as an essential commodity.

The move will boost Kenya’s export earnings from tea.

This comes two weeks after our meeting with the Islamic Republic Minister of National Food Security and Research. This action will result in automatic allocation of dollars for tea import from Kenya.

The shortage of dollars in Pakistan has been a major hurdle to trade and we have overcome this challenge.
Pakistan is the largest buyer for Kenyan tea accounting for 42% of exports in the last year 2022 (191M Kgs).

On behalf of KTDA and tea fraternity I sincerely thank Hon Mithika Linturi CS of Agriculture and Livestock and by extension the GOK for this diplomatic engagement.

Our gratitude also to Government of Pakistan for accepting our request for this categorization of tea as an essential commodity.

Thanks to Pakistan Tea Association for your support in this endeavour.

This is a double blessing as the heavens open with rain which will enhance production of tea and other food crops. God bless our land.”

Citizen Witness

A section of Mount Kenya leaders have come out strongly to stand with former president Uhuru Kenyatta.
Led by KARIUKI kiruga they said

“We are saddened by a section of politicians who have been showing sheer disrespect for our former president Uhuru Kenyatta. It’s utter disrespect to call for Uhuru Kenyatta to be arrested the way Ndindi Nyoro, Kimani Ichungwa and the rest. These are the leaders orchestrating disunity in the region instead of uniting the region.

We lost a leader who was caring and had a vision for this country especially through the one man, one vote one shilling.

Mike Makarina noted

“I’m urging Mount Kenya people to stand in solidarity and defend one of their own. Why are we being told to insult our kingpin whilst other communities heap loads of respect for their leaders. We are urging his excellency the President to embrace dialogue in a bid to save our country from chaos and disorder.

Makarina also decried taxing the persons with disabilities. He also decried lack of inclusion in the list of Cabinet administrative secretaries.
