President William Ruto has sensationally claimed that ODM leader Raila Odinga is being financed by Agriculture cartels.
Speaking on Sunday, January 22, in Kirinyaga County, the Head of State alleged that the Agriculture cartels are fighting back because they want to get rid of them from the coffee sector.
“We must ensure that farmers’ businesses are thriving because they are the surest solutions for our food security intervention. These cartels and corrupt people in the coffee, tea, and milk industries are the ones financing the protests because of our plan to get rid of cartels.
“Let them protest however they want but they must leave farmers alone. They can finance whatever they want to finance but our farmers can never be the slaves of brokers and cartels who have taken hostage our market,” President Ruto stated.
