CS Kagwe urges agricultural agencies to cut food imports and strengthen domestic production - April 2026

CS Kagwe is urging Kenyan agricultural agencies to significantly reduce food imports and bolster domestic food production as part of government efforts to enhance local food production. Meanwhile, there is growing pressure to amend the Social Health Authority (SHA) laws aimed at reducing the medical burden on patients. In a separate development, nurses in Makueni County have issued a 14-day strike notice, threatening to cripple healthcare services if their demands are not met.
