SHAME as KCC cuts milk supply to State House after RUTO and RACHEL refused to pay them – See the millions they owe to KCC

Friday August 23, 2024 - President William Ruto and his wife, Rachel, will be forced to take tea without milk going forward.

This is after MPs directed the New Kenya Co-operative Creameries (KCC) to stop supplying milk to State House and other Government agencies after they refused to pay.

KCC raised concerns over unpaid debts by several Government agencies, including Ruto’s office.

While appearing before the Trade Committee, Cooperatives Principal Secretary Patrick Kilemi revealed that the unpaid debts had immensely hampered the operations of the cooperative.

The committee led by Chairperson and Embakasi North MP, James Gakuya, reiterated that New KCC was a business and should not allow its operations to be hindered by Government entities not paying for the milk supply.

"New KCC is in business and no one compels you to keep supplying milk to Government agencies that still owe you money,” Gakuya told PS Kilemi.

 "You cannot tell farmers that you can't pay them because Government bodies owe you," the MP added.

According to the PS, the Ministry of Defence and the Administration Police Service were the largest debtors, owing Ksh49.49 million and Ksh32.38 million, respectively.

Other debts included Ksh14.62 million owed by State House, Ksh10.53 million by Kenyatta National Hospital, and Ksh6.79 million by the Presidency. 

The Kenyatta National Hospital Private Wing and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital owed Ksh4.45 million and Ksh4.04 million respectively.

Additionally, the National Security Intelligence Service, the Office of the First Lady, and the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company owe Ksh4 million, Ksh3.07 million, and Ksh2.27 million, respectively.
