Farmers’ lobby disowns Uhuru coffee taskforce’s proposals

A farmer’s lobby has disowned recommendations of a coffee taskforce appointed by President Uhuru Kenyatta, saying their views were altered to meet interests of the cartels.

The chairman of the National Farmers Federation (NFA), Harrison Munyi, claims 80 per cent of their views were changed in unfamiliar circumstances and has threatened that they will move to court to annul the report.
