𝗡𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗶 𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 – A delegation from the Makueni County Government has held a courtesy meeting with H.E. Ambassador Nasra Salim Mohamed Alhashmi, Ambassador of the Sultanate of Oman to the Republic of Kenya, to explore ways of lifting the ban on Kenyan mango exports to Oman and restoring market access for Kenyan mango producers.

The meeting focused on addressing outstanding phytosanitary concerns that led to the suspension of Kenyan mango imports into Oman, particularly concerns relating to mango weevil infestation.

During the engagement, Ambassador Alhashmi emphasised the importance of strengthened collaboration between the two countries, urging the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry to engage relevant stakeholders in resolving the matter and restoring trade relations.

Makueni presented a practical solution, proposing that exports to Oman be sourced from its more than 4,000 hectares of low-pest-pressure mango production zones,with source traceability to ensure that exported mangoes meet the required phytosanitary standards.

The Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS) confirmed the existence of recognised pest-free production zones in Makueni that could support the initiative.

The Embassy welcomed the market opportunity, highlighting demand for Kenyan mangoes in the Middle East, particularly the Makueni Apple variety. The different mango production seasons in Kenya and Oman also present an opportunity for Kenyan exports to fill supply gaps in the Omani market.

The Governor committed to engaging the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development to address the outstanding issues and unlock programmes necessary to restore market access.

Makueni County technical teams will now work with their counterparts at the Ministry to develop a coordinated action plan towards resolving the phytosanitary concerns and operationalising the proposed export model.

The initiative seeks to restore Kenya’s access to the Omani market, expand opportunities for mango farmers and strengthen bilateral trade between Kenya and Oman.

𝗡𝗔𝗜𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗜 , 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿: Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr. has taken the plight of Thange residents to Parliament, demanding accountability and urgent environmental restoration following the Kenya Petroleum Company (KPC) oil spill of 2015.

The Governor spoke during a meeting with the Senate Energy Committee, chaired by Senator William Kisang, and other stakeholders to examine the medical and public health impact of the oil spill in Thange, Kibwezi.

The meeting brought together representatives of the County Government, Ministry of Health, Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), among other stakeholders.

Governor Mutula criticised government agencies for failing to address the crisis, saying their inaction had undermined the Senate’s oversight role while residents continued to suffer.He termed the incident criminal and called for those responsible for negligence to be held accountable.

He questioned the stalled restoration process, noting that KPC had secretly challenged a restoration order before a tribunal, which subsequently nullified it. He said the situation remained largely unchanged since the Senate’s 2025 visit.

The Governor also recalled that in 2018, NEMA ordered the suspension of restoration works, claiming the affected area had already been cleaned.

He warned that petroleum contamination extended approximately 40 kilometres beyond kilometre zero, raising concerns over contaminated soils, water, agricultural produce and the health of residents.

Senate Committee members backed the Governor’s concerns and emphasised the need for responsible agencies to fulfil their mandates.

However, KPC and the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) absconded the inquiry despite being key institutions required to explain the spill’s impact and restoration efforts. Their absence forced the committee to adjourn the proceedings.

The two agencies have been summoned to appear before the committee on 19th November ,when the committee and the other stakeholders will continue with the inquiry.
