Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA), through its members, Kenya Flower Council and other flower growers on Friday flagged off over 300 bouquets of flowers to London, United Kingdom. “Our member, the Kenya Flower Council, has done this to show empathy and this sends a strong message of partnership at a time when many countries are facing difficulty,” said KEPSA’s Chief Executive Officer Carol Karuga. According to data from the Kenya Flower Council, sales of cut flowers in overseas markets are below 35 per cent of what is expected at this time of the year. “It is by standing together that we become stronger and endure therefore Kenyans are showing their love through what Kenya does best, flowers,” said Kenya Flower Council Chief Executive Officer, Clement Tulezi. In the UK, the flowers will be received by Flamingo Limited, UK and will be distributed to doctors and nurses on the frontline of combating Covid-19, recovering patients and care homes.
