  Employment of kenyans originating from other counties
  
  I trust you have all read sunday nation page 22. The article deals with
  employment opportunities in counties and implies that NCIC will issue
  guidelines to compel Governors to offer employment to kenyans originating
  from other counties. This is to avoid counties becoming ethnic enclaves. We
  have discussed the subject in this forum before. Any further thoughts on it.

    Elly Elia Mruttu Sorry to say that having the numbers has its concequences... it is evident that this is a plot to avoid sone tribes with big numbers from being jobless coz they cant fit in their counties. counties with minority tribes in kenya like our county will be hard hit by this. jaz for example one time i was comparing the shortlist of taita taveta county with elgeyo marakwet county and ours included all the tribes but the marakwet one was their names only. if pple are to get jobs outside their counties let them put positions that are not supperior coz if they have superior positions like what we see here in taita taveta (the CFO and county secretary) are not from here we are seeing a drop in service delivery leave alone developments. i think we should have a percentage that is acceptable and specific positions that canbe given to non county and this should cut through all the counties.

Wanjala and Lilian mining Companies to be audited

News of more than 30 mining licences which were revoked by Mining Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala was received well by many Kenyans. However, it has come to my notice that some of the affected areas were our very own Wanjala Mining Company in Kishushe  and Lillian Mining Company based in Kasigau.

Taveta farmers want barriers to Tanzania markets removed

Horticultural farmers in Taita Taveta are pushing for unrestricted access to Tanzania markets to make the East African Community integration a reality.

Taveta small-scale farmers association spokesperson Mike Banton said although the East African Community (EAC) common market protocol paved way for free movement of persons, goods, services and labour, it is favouring other citizens coming into Kenya.

‘‘It is important for our government to take up this matter in the EAC legislative assembly and ensure that the laws governing the integration are applied uniformly,’’ he said. Farmers from Taveta say they face many hurdles in accessing Arusha and Moshi markets.

Mr Banton said produce like tomatoes are rotting in farms following a bumper harvest. Taveta, a food basket of the Coastal region, suffers heavy losses due to the poor roads leading to the main market in Mombasa.

The African Development Bank has released Sh10 billion for the upgrading of the road from Mwatate to Arusha by December 2018, a move that will enable farmers easily transport their produce to markets. The farmers said that they had high hopes of venturing into Tanzanian market, but now face economic barriers.

Kenya and Tanzania last year issued a common communique that allowed Kenyans a free movement of a radius of 20 kilometres into Tanzania while any distance further would be guided by international travel rules.

The farmers concerns come at a time that Kenyan manufacturers are fighting to save the Sh114 billion regional export business as Ugandan and Tanzania increasingly charge full duty on imports from Kenya.

Protectionist measures

The arbitrary protectionist measures are undermining the East African Common Market forcing the Kenya Association of Manufacturers to seek an urgent meeting with the Treasury and the Trade ministry.

Kenyan entrepreneurs have linked the decline in trade with EAC member states to persistent market access wars.
