Nchi hii inachana mbuga kwa mwendo usio wa kawaida, kila siku kuna taarifa za mambo makubwa yanayozinduliwa....mpaka imekua mtihani kufuatilia. The revival of cotton farming in Busia County is slowly becoming a reality after the government indicated that Muluanda ginnery will be operational by the end of May 2020. Cooperatives Principal Secretary Ali Noor Ismail on Wednesday told a stakeholders meeting that the government is keen on reviving the ginnery as part of a three-year plan to modernise cooperative ginneries at a cost of Sh1.3 billion. “The ministry has identified cotton and textile as a priority project in the national industrial transformation programme. Towards that end and as part of the Big Four agenda, the President directed the ministry to revitalise cotton cooperatives in order to provide raw material to the Rivatex factory in Eldoret,” said Mr Noor during the tour of the ginnery in Samia Sub-County. He said his visit in which he was accompanied by local leaders, county and Ministry of Agriculture officials, was a clear show of the commitment by the government to revitalise the industry that collapsed in the early 1990s after liberalisation of the textile industry. Mr Ismail said that the government has now embarked on ensuring the factory is delivered to farmers within the agreed timeframe by using Sh30 million it has allocated for the project. https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/news/counties/State-to-revive-cotton-ginnery-in-Busia/4003142-5412198-i99cu8z/index.html
