Mutyo Missing
Rest in eternal peace Kingpin Hon. Johana Arap Ngeno 💔

Veeery sad evening!! Unbelievable that Hon. Johana Arap Ngeno is no longer with us.
The leader who stood firm with the kipsigis community in the border.
The leader who fought for the establishment Emurua Dikir constituency single-handedly.
The leader who was next on the line of being the Kalenjin kingpin.
Rest in eternal peace Kingpin.

Livestock Principal Secretary Jonathan Mueke has urged the Senate to support policy and legislative reforms initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture to strengthen the sector and address the country’s food security challenges.

Speaking during a retreat of Senators in Naivasha, the PS said the Ministry has lined up a series of legislative and policy proposals which, if implemented, would significantly boost food production and enhance national food security.

Mueke represented Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe at the meeting.

He called on the Senate to ensure counties allocate at least 10 per cent of their budgets to agricultural services to spur productivity at the grassroots level.

However, the PS acknowledged that there exists a significant gap in the implementation of agricultural extension services, citing weak coordination and lack of effective liaison mechanisms between the national government and county governments.

“Agriculture is a devolved function, but there is a big disconnect in its implementation,” he said, pointing to poor coordination between the two levels of government.

He urged Senators to support the establishment of liaison offices in every ward to enhance coordination and implementation of agricultural programmes, adding that the Ministry has already set aside funds to operationalise the offices.

Among the draft Bills prepared by the Ministry and expected to be tabled in Parliament are the Veterinary Services Bill and the Animal Products and Technology Bill.

However, Senate Committee on Agriculture Chairperson David Wakoli faulted the national government for what he termed insufficient support to the sector, describing its approach as largely theoretical.

He said irrigation development has fallen short of expectations, noting that the number of dams constructed does not match pre-election pledges made by the President. He also cited fisheries and the blue economy as areas where government intervention has been inadequate.

“If you visit most of our fish landing sites, you will find that beach management committees have hardly felt the impact of government policies,” Wakoli said.

Senator Catherine Mumma questioned the frequency of intergovernmental sectoral meetings and urged the national government to support counties without encroaching on devolved agricultural functions. She also called for mechanisms to ensure counties have access to quality farm inputs.

Senator Wahome Wamatangi stressed the need for sound policies, noting that farmers are subjected to low producer prices while importers appear to be protected, leaving local producers struggling financially.

Senator Joyce Korir advocated for zero-rating animal feeds to reduce production costs, while Senator Beatrice Ogola urged the State to strengthen regulation to ensure the safety and quality of animal feeds.

No excuses!

Go to the gym,
Even when your body is screaming "stay in bed." Yeah, you’re tired, but that’s not an excuse. Strength isn’t just built with weights, it’s built with consistency. Push through and get it done.

Start that business,
Even if you’ve only got $5 to your name. You don’t need a fortune to start; you need drive. Big empires were built from small ideas and a lot of hustle. Your wallet might be empty now, but your ambition shouldn’t be.

Invest in education,
Even if you’re flat broke. Knowledge is priceless, and what you put in your mind today will pay off tomorrow. Whether it’s a book, a course, or just learning from experience, keep investing in yourself. That’s the one stock that will never let you down.

Do that work,
Even when motivation is nowhere to be found. Motivation is temporary. Discipline, though? That’s what separates the boys from the men. You’re not always going to feel like doing the work, but you do it anyway because that’s how you win.

You are a man.
Challenges are part of the game. Find a way to get things done, no matter what’s standing in your way.

Excuses don’t build success—action does. So, take a deep breath, step up, and make it happen.

A Professor started his class on a very serious Topic. The moment he turned towards the blackboard, one of the students whistled.

He turned, looked at the class and asked the Whistler's name. No one answered.

The Professor peacefully kept the Pen in his pocket saying: "Lecture ends here. I'll tell you a story to utilise the remaining time".
Everyone became interested.

"Yesterday night I tried hard to sleep, but it was miles away from my eyes, so I thought I'd better get petrol in my car, which will save my time next morning and might induce sleep.

After having my tank full, I started roaming in that area, enjoying the
peace of a traffic free ride.

Suddenly, on the corner I saw a girl who was as young and beautiful as the clothes she was wearing. Must have been returning from a party.

Out of courtesy, I turned my car towards her and asked if I may be of any help. She asked me if I could
drop her to her home, she'll be very obliged, to which I agreed.

She sat in the front seat with me. We started talking, and to my amazement she was very intelligent, had control on many topics which many youngsters don't.

When we reached her address, she admitted my courteous nature and behavior and accepted that she had fallen in love with me.

I also admitted her intelligence and beauty and that I've also started liking her. I told her about my job
as a professor in the university.

The girl asked my number, which I gave her willingly. Then she asked me a favor, to which i couldn't have denied naturally.

She said that her brother is a student in the same university, and asked me to take care of him, since we'll be in a long relationship now.

I asked the name of the student. She said that I'll recognise him with one of his very prominent quality, He whistles a lot!

All eyes in the classroom turned towards the boy who had whistled.

The professor said:
"I didn't buy my Ph.D in Psychology...
I earned it.” Oya! Come out
🙆‍♂😂😂
