By DAVID MUCHUI More by this AuthorThe tussle over the mode of disbursing the Sh180 million miraa fund has taken a new twist after the Commodities Fund confirmed receiving the money from the National Treasury. In a letter addressed to Nyamita and seen by the Nation, the managing trustee of the Commodities Fund Nancy Cheruiyot said the miraa fund was received last week from the exchequer. We urge the Commodities Fund to fast track the development of guidelines for disbursing the money to farmers and traders,” Mr Munjuri said. Already, miraa farmers have set up several saccos in anticipation of the funds which were first allocated in the last financial year. Last week, Mr Munya defended Mwenge Sacco saying it is open to all miraa farmers and called on those opposed to it to calm down.
