Hon. Dr Chula Mwagona kilifi County CECM Agriculture

Food security is among the key agendas of H.E Governor Gideon Mung'aro. The county government is determined to harness the agricultural potential of our county to enhance food production in our communities.

To fulfill this promise, I engaged in seedlings distribution exercise in partnership with Kenya Red cross to residents of Garashi ward Magarini sub-county, to ensure we have plenty food supply in our county. Part of our efforts was also provision of tractor services to reduce the burden farmers incur when hiring this services.
