MP Nyoro Raises Alarm Over Agriculture Sector’s Budget Cut
Ndindi Nyoro, a Kiharu Member of Parliament, has threatened to utilize House processes to return decreased agricultural sector budget monies, including Ksh.1 billion taken from the Coffee Cherry Fund.
Speaking at Gatagua, where he unveiled coffee drying equipment, Nyoro accused the Treasury of undermining farmers, claiming that the cuts will expose them to costly credit facilities.
“Coffee Cherry Fund inafanyanga wakulima wanapata kukopa pesa ya chini so that they do not suffer with expensive debts,” he said.

“And every financial year we allocate money to help farmers repay loans of the previous years.”
He claims that other areas that faced substantial losses in the Budget Policy Statement include the fertiliser subsidy program, which was reduced by Ksh.7 billion.
