He served as Jubilee party Secretary General Nakuru Branch.

The flagship Hass Avocado farming program by the County Government of Nakuru has started yielding fruits.

Over the weekend, 14 farmers in Amalo and Kiptagich wards in Kuresoi South sub-County harvested and sold 4.2 tons of avocados.

Processors and exporters, among them Sunripe Kenya Ltd that is buying a kilogram of the fruit at Sh110, have camped in the region.

Sunripe Kenya Ltd field officer Mr Samuel Ndura said Kenyan farmers can not satisfy the local and international avocado market.

He urged farmers to plant more avocado trees. The company has taken upon itself to educate farmers on proper crop husbandry.

Kuresoi South sub-County agricultural officer Ms Grace Lang’at said farmers in the region so far have over 20,000 avocado trees.

She urged farmers to form cooperatives to help in marketing, offering extension services and seedling propagations.

Mr Paul Mitei, a small scale farmer at Kitoben in Amalo Ward said avocado is more profitable compared to tea and maize farming.

He said the farmers were in the process of forming cooperatives to enjoy incentives such as free seedlings and training by the County.

Mr Japhet Mutai, an avocado farmer in Kiptagich Ward said avocado farming is a profitable venture urging farmers to diversify on crops.

The burglary suspect who was filmed being brutalized by police officers at Olenguruone in Kuresoi South sustaining serious injuries will face the law once she recovers.

Rift Valley Regional Commissioner Mr George Natembeya said a criminal offence was committed and Ms Mercy Cherono is a prime suspect.

An armed police officer has been assigned to man her and her visitors at the Nakuru Level 5 Hospital.

It’s alleged that Ms Cherono and her two male accomplices, who then managed to flee, broke into a police house and stole valuables among them cash and police uniform.

“Ms Cherono and all the suspects she named are under arrest and have recorded statements to aid police with investigations,” he revealed.

Mr Natembeya also confirmed that investigations have been launched on the police officers and will equally face the law if found culpable.

The regional boss was speaking after visiting Ms Cherono at the Nakuru Level 5 Hospital where she is nursing fractured leg and an arm as well as deep facial bruises.

Mr Natembeya regretted that members of the public found time to film the incident instead of rescuing the desperate lady, “A suspect remains innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.”

“I have personally taken over the matter and will ensure that justice is served. Moving her from Olenguruone to Nakuru is a move to ensure there is no interference with the investigations,” he said.

He urged members of the public to work with police and report cases of indiscipline among police officers, that often lead to brutality.
