Now here is the part that concerns me.
A law is only as good as the people who know it exists. Ninajua kuna farmers wa Kericho, Kipkelion, Nandi, Murang'a, Kirinyaga who have no idea this law was signed. Their cooperative chairman knows. The middlemen know. But the farmer? Hajui. Na wakijua hawajui rights zao.
If you have a coffee farmer in your family — your dad, shosho, uncle, neighbour —EDUCATE THEM. Waelezee kuhusu hizi rights. Waelezee that they can now demand payment within 14 days. That deductions beyond 10% are illegal. That they have 30 days to get justice.
Because at the end of the day, the law is there. But if the farmer doesn't know it, bado ataliwa tu.
Kenya coffee is fetching record prices globally right now. 2025 ilikuwa mwaka mzuri sana for Kenyan Coffee sales. The timing of this law could not be better.
Mungu awalinde wakulima wa Kenya. These people wake up at 6 AM, work in the rain, and enrich this country with DOLLARS. The least we can do is make sure they are not cheated out of their hard-earned money.
