The Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) faces strong criticism from the National Assembly Committee on Cohesion and Equal Opportunities over alleged ethnic bias in its hiring practices, with only two communities reportedly dominating its staff. AFA Director General Bruno Linyiri struggled to explain the imbalance, admitting the authority has operated without a human resources manual since 2013.

• The AFA has been accused of marginalizing people living with disabilities (PLWDs), often hiring them only as casual staff.
• Director General Bruno Linyiri cited the absence of a human resources manual since AFA's inception in 2013 as a hindrance to fair hiring.
• Nyeri Town MP Duncan Mathenge directed AFA to ensure upcoming recruitment addresses ethnic imbalance and promotes fair representation for women, youth, and PLWDs.
