Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya said more swarms of locusts were still arriving from Somalia and Yemen.
Mr Munya also cited a lack of an effective chemical in the local market, adding that the fight against the insect has been slowed down by the long procurement and import bureaucracies.
Mr Munya said the situation had been worsened by the lapses in handling the locust threat when they were first spotted in northern Kenya.

hehehe, as the white man said no need to flog a dead horse, the man was dismissed from his position, and the incumbent made a choice to take up the position. He should be telling us the detailed plans to combat the same, plans to compensate those affected and such, and if he has to wade into the past at least tell us what he could have done different.

I have never liked guys who blame their predecessors, have been is such situations guys coming in and claiming that the previous team failed to do a,b,c,d

This is further evidence of a disjointed government that has absolutely no concern right now beyond forcing through BBI; how can he come out to claim ati shida ni 'lack of an effective chemical' because of bureaucracy and procurement procedures?

The procurement regulations allow for direct sourcing where it can be justified, especially in a case of a national emergency, such as this. Cabinet would have sat down and included all stakeholders e.g. PCPB, PPRA, KRA, Treasury etc and hashed this shit out in a day. Identify the appropriate chemical/product, engage directly with manufacturer and their government, expedite payment and order, then start the preparation for quick clearance of the deliveries!

I won't be surprised even when the proper product is identified and sourced itafika port then tuskie kuna push and pull with KRA insisting lazima ilipiwe duty na other taxes while the relevant ministry says hakuna allocation.

true, its a case of the government blaming itself, thats the problem with a blame centered governance or problem solving approach, there is always something to shift blame to.

nilisikia, kusikia tu I am not sure ka ni ukweli, that for them to grow to the levels of a swarm certain conditions have to be present, and the breeding conditions have to be favorable, and I understand Kenya is not a favorable breading place, and even if they manage to kuzaana kiasi, they wont get to the large swarm levels, and with time they will die out.
