January 30, 2018: Uhuru Park, I PROUDLY administered the Oath of Office for The People’s President, as men trembled.

They alleged it was treason, but I stood firm and reclaimed our dignity and constitutionalism. I’m forever proud of this act of fearlessness. #RipRailaOdinga

Met with Warehouse Receipt System Council Chairperson Felicity Biriri and Acting CEO Lucy Komen to explore how farmers can unlock greater value from their produce by storing it during periods of surplus, avoiding low prices, and using stored crops to access credit.

Strengthening the system will protect farmers’ incomes and enhance their market power.

The Warehouse Receipt System allows farmers to store produce in certified warehouses and receive receipts as proof of ownership. These can be traded or used as loan collateral, helping stabilize prices, improve storage, and unlock credit access.

The Principal Secretary for Trade Regina Ombam this morning held a meeting with the Country Advisory and Economic Manager at the International Finance Corporation (IFC), World Bank Group Paramita Dasgupta.

During the meeting IFC Ms. Dasgupta apprised PS Ombam on the ongoing collaboration between IFC and the Warehouse Receipt System Council (WRSC) aimed at boosting the Warehouse Receipt System (WRS) financing to support structured commodity trading in the Kenya.

The WRS allows farmers to store their produce in certified warehouses and receive receipts that can be used as collateral to access financing.

The partnership which begun in April 2023 focuses on strengthening the legal, regulatory and operational framework of the WRS and it anchored on five key components including development of a legal framework, capacity building for stakeholders, ICT support, creation of a central asset registry, onboarding of financial institutions alongside advisory on WRS financing.

So far, through the collaboration a WRS Financing Manual has been developed, 14 financial institutions on boarded, drafting of a WRS Amendment Bill and sensitization on post-harvest losses management to farmers and other stakeholders.

The PS emphasized the importance of unlocking the WRS to ensure the system works not only locally but also internationally to tap into markets created by trade agreements including the AfCFTA, Kenya-EU and UK EPAs and the Kenya-UAE CEPA.
Present also was the CEO for WRSC Lucy Komen.

Kasongo there is a reason why the Constitution provided that there shall be no state religion.

If you chose to build a CHURCH, then you must equally build a MOSQUE, a Hindus TEMPLE and our African traditional shrines.

Otherwise we are heading to court.
