Senate Committee Questions Natembeya's Seed Program

Trans Nzoia Governor Natembeya faces questions from a Senate committee regarding his seed distribution program for farmers. The program, intended to alleviate poverty and enhance food security, has come under scrutiny. "We are planning to do a bit of subsidizing fertilizer so that we really produce enough food," Natembeya stated. The committee raised concerns about the program's sustainability and the potential for misuse, prompting a discussion about accountability and oversight. The governor's response included a proposal for the committee to visit the farms to assess the program's impact firsthand. The meeting highlights the ongoing efforts to address food insecurity in Kenya and the importance of transparency and accountability in government programs.
