President William Ruto has announced that the government will pay its 2 billion shilling debt owed to coffee farmers in the next financial year, adding that the government will progressively clear the outstanding debt in subsequent financial years. Speaking in Kirinyaga County today, during the launch of a coffee revival programme, President Ruto criticised members of parliament who opposed the 2026 Finance Bill, saying they were misled to reject it. President Ruto is expected to sign the bill into law tomorrow.
