What you need to know:

  • The Council of Governors has also criticised the government for embarking on reforms without involving counties.
  • The Pyrethrum Processing Company of Kenya is yet to pay more than 300 pensioners their outstanding dues as it battles a financial crisis.

Pyrethrum growers have faulted the government for selecting a revitalisation committee without consulting key stakeholders in the sector.

The process may not succeed if key people such as farmers are not involved in making decisions through public participation, said Mr Justus Mochache Monda, the chairman of the Pyrethrum Growers Association (PGA).
