President William Ruto has pledged that the government will avail Ksh. 300 million to Twiga Foods’ customers and suppliers, which they will take as credit.

Speaking after the opening of the Twiga Foods Distribution Facility at Tatu City in Ruiru, the president said the facility will help customers take up loans with an interest rate of 8 per cent per year, and shun the current credit facility, which they repay with an interest of 1 per cent per day.
