In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State the measures, if any, put in place by the Government to sustain growth and allow stakeholders in the horticultural subsector identify and establish a direct link with their regulator. (2) Inform the Senate whether the AFA has adequate resources to manage and oversee the horticultural subsector considering that it oversees several other directorates. (3) Give reasons for the abolishment of the Horticultural Research Fund and the weekend staff capacity of the HCD by the AFA. (4) Explain how the AFA manages perishable horticultural value chains requiring timely decisions and the losses they incur detailing the constitutional process of the AFA Board to protect the interest of the horticultural stakeholders. This is a Statement by Sen. Munyi Mundigi, Senator for Embu County."
