Lobby petitions Kenyan parliament for more funding for agriculture

Lobby group Shining Hope for Communities (Shofco) has petitioned the National Assembly to pass a legislation that will enable the agricultural sector to benefit from the Road Maintenance Levy Fund to develop irrigation infrastructure in all parts of Kenya.

In the petition received by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula, the organisation also wants the Irrigation Act (No. 14 of 2019), the Kenya Roads Board Act (No. 7 of 1999), the Road Maintenance Levy Fund Act (No. 9 of 1993) and all other relevant laws be amended.

At the same time, the organisation wants the National Irrigation Authority share the funds it gets from the new ‘Infrastructure Development and Maintenance Levy Fund’ equally among all the 290 constituencies.
