We all remember that the government allocated Sh 27 million to several
Rice Farmers Cooperative Societies in Nyando Constituency. The funds was meant to
be disbursed through the Ministry of Cooperative to be used in offsetting debts.
Deputy Commissioner of Cooperatives Philip Gichuki said the funds would be
distributed to farmers in West Kano, Ahero Irrigation Scheme and West Kano
Cooperatives Society. This he said while speaking on 8th Nov, 2012 at
Ahero Multi-purpose Training Institute.
He did say that the government was committed to ensuring that it wrote off
the farmers’ debts just as it had done with the coffee farmers in other areas. Fred
Outa who was present at the meeting praised the government's move.
I hope and believe that the money was finally sent to the cooperatives
hence more no debts.
