Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru has vowed to fight cartels importing Pakistan rice. Waiguru on Friday said the cartel led by some well-known traders is secretely importing Pakistan rice at the expense of local farmers. She said the importation has for decades negatively affected Mwea Rice markets. “Going forward I am going to do my best to safeguard the interests of local farmers,” she said. Waiguru said over 6,000 households in Mwea Sub County will benefit from clean water sourced from Nyamindi River.
