Kanu chairman Gideon Moi has asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to write off huge debts owed by Rift Valley farmers.

Speaking in Kabarnet, Baringo County, the Baringo senator said he was optimistic that President Kenyatta would extend a helping hand to other parts of the country, adding that most hardworking farmers had abandoned farming because of the heavy burden of repaying loans.
