A tussle is brewing between the Agriculture ministry and the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) over the regulation of coffee trading after both parties claimed the rights on the extension of the trading rules at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange.
Agriculture Cabinet secretary Peter Munya said Thursday it is his ministry’s mandate, through the Crops Act, to extend the laws that would have ceased at the end of June, saying the CMA regulations did not involve all stakeholders and that he would seek their repeal.
