Joseph M’Eruaki

Joseph M’Eruaki is the Chairman of the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (Kephis), an agency responsible for safeguarding agriculture and trade in Kenya. Recently, he made headlines by asserting that Kephis would continue imposing inspection fees at the Mombasa port despite a directive from the Kenya Maritime Authority to cease these charges. M’Eruaki emphasized the importance of dialogue and cooperation among government agencies to protect the agricultural sector and ensure the smooth flow of trade.
