What is the logic in trying to merge the Kenya Institute of Research and Development Institute (Kirdi) — a research body — with the Kenya Industrial Estates; a small and medium-sized enterprise agency whose main mandate is to lend and incubate small-scale manufacturers?
Why would you want to merge the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB), whose principal mandate is price stabilisation and to play the role of buyer of last resort for maize farmers, and the moribund Kenya National Trading Corporation (KNTC)?
