The national government has rolled out an empowerment programme in Trans-Nzoia County to cushion farmers from the effects of crop failure, amid calls for the timely supply of subsidised fertiliser to enable residents to plant short-term crops during the expected El Niño rains.
Government departments are working with residents by distributing chicks and fruit tree seedlings to help families diversify their sources of livelihood.
