A Sacco boss has urged Murang'a and Kiambu governors to collaborate in improving coffee farming. Speaking Murang'a on Friday, Murata Sacco chairman Hirum Mwaniki said the sector was once the back borne of the county's economy before it deteriorated.
He asked governors Mwangi wa Iria (Murang'a) and William Kabogo (Kiambu) to strike a deal that will sufficiently finance the sector. Speaking separately, Leader of Majority in Murang'a county Peter Kihungi has called for repealing of the Coffee Act. He said the Act has loopholes which enables middlemen and millers to exploit farmers.
Kihungi asked the two governors to set aside money to revive the coffee and agriculture sectors in their counties. He said Kiambu and Murang'a counties can only sprout back economically if farming is boosted.
