The Agriculture CS recognised the challenges in the agricultural sector but stated he sees them as opportunities. “I sincerely thank H. E. President William Ruto for appointing me as the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Development. Agriculture is the backbone of our livelihoods and economy. As I humbly take up office, I am aware of the challenges ahead. This is an opportunity to also turn those challenges into opportunities. I shall always serve with diligence, integrity, and in-observance of the constitution and in the best interests of the people of Kenya,” Kagwe’s statement read.
