Kipruto Kirwa: How Cartels Operate In The Ministry Of Agriculture In The Name Of Maize Subsidies

[@benmusa1988]

Been living in New England for nearly 30 years but I pay close attention to events mashinani Kenya. Very insightful panel featuring a man of integrity and command of issues that few of today's leaders in Kenya possess. K arap Kirwa çemented his legacy in Kenya's history well before the new millennium. If Ruto were a wise man, this is the gentleman whose advice he ought to seek from his Kalenjin folk and pay premium money for, siyo akina Sudi, Mandango, A. Cheruiyot and the retinue of court jesters he surrounds himself with. The Kirwa family must be one of sages. I was a student leader in Moi University during the YK'92 phenomenon and knew his brother, George Kapten; an officer and a gentleman to boot. May his soul continue to rest peacefully. Kudos my man, K. Kirwa. History is replete with great leaders who lost many battles before ultimately attaining victory. Your election losses are not for nought, sir.

[@francismworia4606]

I love his honesty at the last 3 minutes of story

[@chrishara1590]

I have tremendous respect for this gentleman Kipruto Kirwa. He seems the sole wiseman standing. He should tell us how come for 5,000 years, Egypt has been using water coming from lake Victoria thru the Nile river to feed itself and export now fruits to Kenya but in the 21st century Kenya can't do the same and use God-given water bodies to feed itself outside rain based agriculture.

Very true 👍👌but very sad Cartels are running 🏃‍♂️😳 the Show Things have to change the sooner the better.

[@hotairchasingwildgoose7286]

Hon Kirwa kudos. You have a very good grasp of the agricultural sector

[@Kanyikanz]

Very insightful interview and a sharp mind the former Minister has. If only we can include, in detailed ministerial policies and laws, all solutions he has so that irregardless of the leader, we have proper guard rails in place.

[@njoroon8440]

Mr. Kirwa is one of the very few level headed politicians I ever knew in Kenya

[@karanjawa-nganga7285]

This man stood up against Moi when when every man trembled in front of Moi.

[@lugwetunje3896]

This is the guy who could handle the ministry of agriculture

[@brianasa8483]

Hon Kirwa has a sound grasp of the Agriculture sector

[@stivinsmasai]

Where are such leaders

[@charlesnyagah7423]

Do Kenyans have to eat Maize. Uganda and Nigeria eat plantain and cassava

[@dukakisomondi8552]

Do u eat plantain and cassava?And where exactly can i get those today, mr wiseman? u are very naive, like Antoinette of france who told people to eat cake if there is no bread, forgetting that the problem was not one of choice, but one of availability and affordability.then u find a person like u eti ndio voter!totally ignorant.

[@akich1270]

It's what we are used to since

[@hotairchasingwildgoose7286]

It's our staple food

[@dukakisomondi8552]

It is like going to Nigeria and asking y they don't eat maize.Some of these folks on social media sidhani kama huwa wanatumia akili

[@charlesnyagah7423]

As a farmer we have plantain, Irish and sweet potatoes, maize meal, a variety of veggies, mangoes, pomegranate, bananas, avocado. Plenty of kienyeji chickens and eggs.

[@patrickobara1195]

Good politics my friend Kirwa. One day you will win you have a good heart

[@robertgituhu9975]

I am watching the same program with Museveni 😂😂😂

[@kibetkirui1054]

He seems to understand the sector well, but how comes we had the same challenges during his tenure as Agriculture CS?

[@dotgazelle]

Hats off for Hon Kirwa...a leader in whatever docket Kenya would be better off with in times such as these...

[@edwardonyaoking8173]

Kenya doesn't need to import maize. Cut taxes and regulations and farmers will produce enough food. And private sector provide storage area store maize. Government wants citizenry remain poor. Never allow farmers produce food. Control citizenry keeping them poorer. Enjoy serekali yenyu kikuyu and kalenjin nation

[@michaelichura3807]

I get the feel, former GOK officials are taking the high road. We would not be here if they did better during their time.

[@unt_folly]

It's Ruto to make things better. He talked too much as if he knew how to solve the problems. He must now stop his 2027 campaigns and deliver on his promises

[@dukakisomondi8552]

u will be a very foolish driver if you always stare in the side mirror. someone went to look for a job of being president. He looked at the situation and saw problems. he went ahead and made promises. He gave timelines.why cant he fulfill the promises in the timelines he gave?why blame those who he replaced?

[@triplebeans4159]

The present government was part of the one that left it's embarrassing whenever I hear them talk as if they didn't hold high positions for 10 years in the previous government.

[@victormwangi5334]

Good

[@olivermasheti525]

Very insightful 😢

[@ipetert5372]

We need to go the Rwanda way: one election one term every 8-9 yrs for sake of stability and vision completion. Btw China do 200-500 year strategic plans while we are doing 5 yrs. Mchezo sana

[@wakawaka5131]

I agree. One term to kill the lunacy of reelection politics poisoning everything

[@akich1270]

Man in his senses sharp as ,,,,,

[@mmwaapamghambonyi7836]

what did he do when he was the minister, anything he can be remembered of ???

[@maryithonga9279]

Waziri wa kilimo Kipruro Kirwa. How did you miss out? You cracked rhi ministry and streamlined system.

[@bonifacekariuki8949]

He's one of those cartels.... awache kutufanya mafala....

[@roseannpugales725]

l am super excited my financial life has totally changed ever since I ventured into crypto market. Ive been earning over $12,000 every single week. Lol 😊

[@roseannpugales725]

[@jsam477]

We should stop this nonsense of maize every day.

[@nolongeratease7583]

Ruto is coming with more maize from Dubai.

[@ngango910]

Not true, the wife of the president of Rwanda is not a minister!

[@kerryindiaziadaka9576]

The only politician who is proud to be in opposition. Great man.

[@waynegerard457]

This guy is just regretting his miscalculation, he bolted out from the winning team and he is now trying to save face.

[@Dochmanmwizi]

This man moved the last minute. N he doesn't seem to have be mad. I also think, he's a card being played by Ruto. Busy creating an opposition seat. If Raila refuses this guy might gey it😅😅

[@klaguardia2326]

He represents people who have placed good money in the wrong place and time. From UDA leadership to Azimio fully convinced Raila would win. The rest is history.

[@FanikishaAdvisory]

😂😂 ncpb grain reserve purchase was scrapped off by former finance cs in 2020. There was very low produce last year the mess was created by Uhuru regime which is now leading to same issues. Let's give this government this year.

[@hurrymagwaya]

mwaka wako umeisha? 😂😂😂 ama you meant the other next year?

[@yusufahmed5759]

Kirwa is one of the biggest cartels he is talking about

[@festus.official]

Let him just say the truth, he regrets shifting to Azimio. He placed the wrong bet

[@carolinengeno885]

If the gvt could buy maize from the farmers and stored for them, would that that stop drought? My question directed to Kirwa. Kirwa should stop being bitter about President Ruto (on personal levels as he has always been). Such ppl would only give us unreal analysis and the show looses it's taste.

[@bensonndungu5521]
