Kagwe warns of food crisis after Maua depot looting

Kagwe said the looting was a direct attack on the country's ability to feed itself.
"The attack on the NCPB depot is not just a property crime. It is a direct assault on Kenya's food security," said Kagwe, adding, "This reckless act jeopardises farmers' ability to grow food, feed their families and support the national economy."
Kagwe asked the National Police Service to arrest those involved and recover the stolen fertiliser.
"Those who rob, destroy and loot critical public installations such as the NCPB are not demonstrators, they are criminals and anarchists, and they must be treated as such," said Kagwe.
He warned that hijacking of peaceful protests for looting risks undermining democratic rights.
"Just as brutality and loss of life are unacceptable, so too is the wanton destruction of public property and theft of critical agricultural inputs," he added
