How Uhuru Plans To Put Cash In Farmers’ Pockets
From: standardmedia.co.ke
President Uhuru Kenyatta has spelt out a raft of measures aimed at putting money in people’s pockets and jump-starting an economy that has largely been in limbo.
In an address to the nation yesterday, the Head of State drew a plan on how he will inject money into the economy. The money-making measures include efforts to pay government suppliers and break up corruption syndicates that have been siphoning farmers’ earnings. Suppliers owed by the national and county governments; milk, coffee and tea producers as well as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are some of the potential beneficiaries as President Kenyatta seeks “economic kingdom.”Speaking in Mombasa, Uhuru sought to align political activities to the country’s economic aspirations.
