We also know that the Kshs500 million that was paid was actually not commensurate to the value of the assets of KCC then.

• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. Let me congratulate Cherarkey for recognising that former governors can help current Senators to become governors. I just want to ask the Cabinet Secretary, alongside that supplementary of Kimuri Coffee Factory.
