in Nanyuki.

It was a big relief for the Laikipians when the Cabinet Secretary for Treasury Henry

Rotich launched a new Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC) branch in Nanyuki on

Friday.

The branch is a milestone to farmers in Laikipia County, as they will benefit largely from

agricultural loans at low interest.

branch to apply for loans to invest in agriculture for improvement of their livelihoods.

AFC Chairman, Franklin Bett, encouraged farmers to take advantage of the branch to

borrow for farm inputs and development. He added that the corporation will increase

fertilizer supply to help them to increase their agricultural output.
