For decades, Kenyan farmers felt abandoned, struggling with high input costs, low market prices, and little government attention. In the past three years, President William Ruto has changed that story by putting farmers at the very center of his administration’s agenda.

Through the fertiliser subsidy programme, prices dropped from KES 7,500 to 2,500, giving relief to millions of smallholder farmers and saving the sector over KES 100 billion. Over 21.3 million bags have been distributed, boosting production and confidence.

The farmer registration initiative has brought 7 million farmers onto a digital platform, ensuring that only genuine farmers benefit from support while cutting out ghost beneficiaries. This move has made access to services fair, transparent, and efficient.

Across sectors, farmers are now earning more. Maize production is up, tea farmers are paid KES 64 per kilo, coffee cherry prices rose from KES 79 to 120, cane farmers are earning KES 6,050 per tonne, and pyrethrum is fetching KES 340 per kilo.

From installing 100 maize dryers to reviving cotton ginneries, leasing sugar mills, and investing in tree crops, President Ruto has shown that valuing farmers means securing jobs, incomes, and food security for the whole nation.

Kenyan farmers no longer feel neglected. They feel seen, supported, and valued like never before. That is what true leadership looks like.

Rigathi Gachagua has launched a scathing attack on former President Uhuru Kenyatta, branding him a total failure who left behind a broken economy and a heavily burdened nation.

Gachagua insists that Kenyans are still paying the price of Uhuru’s mismanagement, debt crisis, and failed leadership.

According to him, history will remember Uhuru not for development, but for corruption scandals, arrogance, and betrayal of the very people who entrusted him with power.

Agano Party has entered a new chapter with the leadership of Odanga Pessa. What was once a quiet political outfit has now been given new life, new energy, and new purpose. The acquisition of the party is more than a headline; it is a declaration that fresh leadership and new ideas still have a place in Kenya’s politics.

For many years, Agano Party struggled to find visibility. It was often dismissed as a small player with little to offer. But with Odanga Pessa stepping in, that image has changed overnight. His experience in political organization, his reputation for strategy, and his deliberate approach to leadership have transformed the perception of Agano Party.

This acquisition represents a future of structure and stability. Under Odanga Pessa, the party will not just exist, it will grow. It will attract new members, establish stronger systems, and position itself as a credible alternative in the national conversation. The party now has the chance to prove that political platforms can be disciplined, visionary, and impactful.

The entry of into Agano Party is a sign of ambition and confidence. It signals that the party is no longer content with the sidelines. Instead, it is ready to take its place in shaping Kenya’s political direction.

Agano Party is reborn. Odanga Pessa has made it relevant. The journey has just begun.

💔 In Kuresoi North, Nakuru County, a little girl was abandoned in a maize plantation by her own mother. One can only imagine her crying out “Mama” again and again, not knowing why she was left behind. 😢

Thankfully, a good Samaritan found her and saved her life.

No child deserves to be discarded, especially not by the very person meant to protect them. This is a wound on humanity itself. 💔

When President Ruto assumed office in 2022, he promised to put money back into the pockets of ordinary Kenyans, empower farmers, improve trade, and ensure the economy works for everyone. Three years later, many of these promises are turning into visible results.

Wins:

Cheaper maize flour: Prices dropped from KES 250 in 2022 to KES 165 in 2025, saving families around KES 85 every time they buy a packet. That money is being spent on school fees, healthcare, and daily essentials.

Affordable fertiliser: From KES 7,500 per bag in 2022 to KES 2,500 today, farmers have saved over KES 100 billion, enabling them to expand farms, hire workers, and improve livelihoods.

Bigger maize harvests: Production rose from 2.9 million tonnes in 2022 to 3.6 million tonnes in 2024, reducing costly imports and giving local farmers more income.

Tea and coffee earnings: Tea revenue increased from KES 154 billion to KES 215 billion, with farmers now paid KES 64 per kilo, up from KES 50. Coffee rose from KES 79 to KES 120 per kilo, improving livelihoods for smallholder farmers.

Milk and livestock: Milk production grew from 4.6 billion litres to 5.3 billion litres, while exports nearly doubled from KES 4.9 billion to KES 9.4 billion. Livestock exports increased from 14,985 tonnes to 19,328 tonnes, earning pastoralist families an extra KES 4 billion.

Stronger shilling and growing trade: The shilling improved from 160.8 per USD in early 2024 to 129 in August 2025, making imports cheaper. Exports to East Africa rose from KES 226 billion to KES 321 billion, creating jobs and higher incomes.

Remittances: Money sent home by Kenyans abroad grew from KES 584 billion in 2022 to KES 641 billion in 2024, supporting households directly in education, healthcare, and business investment.

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is scheduled to travel to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the end of October to meet Mt. Kenya businessmen and Kenyan expats working in the emirates.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) announced all by-elections will be conducted on November 27, 2025, marking the end of a prolonged period in which some vacant seats had remained without elected leaders for over two years.

While in the US, Gachagua told supporters he was rushing back to Nairobi to hit the campaign trail for his DCP candidates in the 16 by-elections. The party has, however, dropped its candidacy in three elective positions.
