Call for Respect for the Presidency<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Relief for Farmers Through Supplementary Appropriations Bill 2026<\/p>\n

Dr. Mwaura highlighted that the Supplementary Appropriations Bill 2026 had waived debts in key agricultural sectors. The coffee sector benefited from a KSh 6.8 billion waiver, with KSh 2 billion allocated for initial clearance, while the sugar sector saw KSh 10 billion in debt relief, with KSh 2 billion set aside for immediate payments.
