Members to buy seeds from those companies to which KEPHIS has given certificates showing that their seeds are certified and they are the right ones for the areas they come from.

• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) It is not possible for the Government to request for the extension of the COMESA safeguards because the maximum period for the safeguard is exhausted. (b) The Government is implementing the Sugar Act 2001 since it was signed into law. The Government, through the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB), has disbursed a total of Kshs18.87 billion to finance various activities in the sugar industry since its inception in 1992. view
