• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I congratulate, Sen. Githiomi, the Senator for Nyandarua County. This Statement is timely. Despite the heavy rainfall and high milk production in the country, the prices have dropped. However, the price of processed and packaged milk remains high. There is no rationale that a litre of packaged milk is more than Kshs50 yet raw milk which has many components, for example, ghee and cream is only Kshs17 per litre. This is unfair to farmers. view
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: I come from Nandi County where apart from having tea, coffee and maize farmers, we also produce a lot of milk. These prices keep fluctuating until there is a milk glut. So, we want to know what the national Government and county governments are doing. We are cognizant of the fact that agriculture is a devolved function. Therefore, we expect milk prices to remain at Kshs50 or 60 per litre.

Going forward, as we go into conversations or proposals of Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) that was launched by the President, we should demand for long-term and shared prosperity of prices for products that are produced by farmers. We want maize, milk, coffee and tea prices to be stable. When ... view
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have always stated that Statements should be attended to urgently. The Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries is giving preliminary observations. This matter is of great concern because the milk prices are at Kshs17 per litre currently down from Kshs25 per litre. I appreciate that the Chairperson is giving us an overview of what should happen. We request that the Chairperson gets a concrete explanation in seven days. I request Sen. Kinyua to be patient because the dairy farmers are making losses and feeling the pinch. view
