Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi has called on the Coffee Subsector Implementation committee to increase funding to revive the sector. The governor said the sector does not need to be demystified "because money is the key interest of farmers". “Coffee farmers should be paid like any other crop farmer after delivering their coffee to the market. The committee which was appointed by President Uhuru Kenyatta to look into reviving the ailing sector was conducting public participation on the coffee policy which is under development. Kiraitu urged the committee to fast-track payment to Sh60 per kilo.
