Nakuru governor Lee Kinyanjui has stated that he has plans to rejuvenate potatoes and pyrethrum in the county of Nakuru.
“We shall work with industry stakeholders to create storage services for potato farmers in Mau Narok, Molo and Kuresoi regions. This will cushion farmers from the erratic price attritions and improve their profitability," Kinyanjui said as reported by The Star.
This was one of the many assurances Kinyanjui displayed in his manifesto.
“Our parents sold pyrethrum to educate us. If elected, my first major task will be to revive the sector,” he said in April.
With the current negative state of agriculture in the county the governor has been forced to take action.
“Agriculture begins with research on base factories and dissemination of the same to farmers. From seed propagation, crop management harvesting, storage and marketing and value additions.”
Governor Kinyanjui assured residents that he will be working hand in hand with the national government to rejuvenate the agricultural sector
