Tea farmers from Gesima ward have challenged the county government of Nyamira to help them with funds to help build a proposed Tea factor At Matunua satellite.
Lead by politician Victory Ogeto, the farmers said the project needs to start this year, and requested the government to chip in with enough funds to complete the project.
“We are requesting the county of Nyamira under the leadership of Governor John Nyagarama to help us with some funds as one way of supporting this project,” said Swanya
Swanya also said that the construction of the proposed factory will help farmers improve on their productivity, which will in a big way boost their income.
“Farmers have been selling their produce to other places, but I hope that once this factory will be operational, farmers will be able to sell their tea leaves here due to its accessibility,” added Swanya.
