An ailing coffee mill in Machakos has won the support of the county assembly's Agriculture Committee.

Lower Eastern Coffee Mill (Lecom), which is on the verge of collapse, is an affiliate of Machakos Co-operative Union - the umbrella body of all Ukambani region coffee farmers - started 10 years ago.
