"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the IDPs got their share of the fertilizer, not this year alone, but last year as well. In fact, last year, we managed to plough the farms for many IDPs who had been displaced and assisted them with free seed and fertilizer to enable them to plant. The price of fertilizer that the hon. Member has asked, is as follows:- (i) The price of DAP came down from Kshs6,000. We managed to get it into the country at the price of Kshs2,850. However, the fertilizer was sold to farmers at Kshs2,500, which means that the Government absorbed the Kshs350 as subsidy. (ii) The CAN was sold at Kshs1,700, but it was delivered into the country at a price of Kshs2,000. Those are the details of the prices for the fertilizer that was brought into the country. Thirdly, on the broad picture, I informed the hon. Member that 66,100 metric tones of assorted fertilizer was purchased at a price of Kshs2.940 billion. Another 62,050 metric tones of assorted fertilizer was purchased at a price of Kshs2.09 billion. Additionally, I informed the House that the Government spent Kshs533,834,000 to procure 8,879 metric tones of fertilizer from local stockists, which was then given free to farmers in the context of the âKilimo Plus Programmeâ."
