Nandi residents have been urged to invest in quality dairy farming apart from agribusiness. Speaking after paying a courtesy call Nandi Governor Stephen Sang, Agriculture CAS Linah Chebii Kilimo said residents should invest heavily in the venture. The leaders also visited Kabiyet area in Mosop constituency to check on the proposed milk processing plant whose construction is underway.

The CAS who was accompanied by Kenya dairy board top officials discussed and agreed on areas of agricultural partnership with the County government of Nandi in a bid to boost and improve the sector.
