Lawyer Paul Muite has raised concerns over the government’s recent decision to ban imported furniture, suggesting there may be a connection between the move and the establishment of a new furniture factory in Eldoret.
Speaking after the policy announcement, Muite questioned the timing of the developments, saying the sequence of events appeared too convenient to ignore.
He noted that the lifting of the logging ban in the Mau Forest was swiftly followed by the opening of a large furniture factory in Eldoret, and soon after, the government declared a total ban on imported furniture.
“The dots are easy to connect,” Muite said. “A large furniture factory is opened in Eldoret, the logging ban is lifted, and then imported furniture is banned.
Looting and profiteering by abusing public office will be our ruin.” TO READ MORE, TAP HERE.
