"content": "bags of maize. The Permanent Secretary added that, that food was enough to take us through to September. But in May, it was declared that there was no sufficient food in this country. Hon. William Ruto was appointed on 30th April, 2008 as Minister for Agriculture and by May, the Cabinet stripped his portfolio in parts in terms of authority to deal with the issue of famine. An Ad hoc Committee of the Cabinet was formed and from there henceforth it took over that issue. I will be tabling several communications and minutes to that affect later on. Our feeling at the Committee level is that if that ad hoc Committee bought maize at the right price then this country would have imported 5.1 million bags of maize. Had that happened, then there would be no famine because that stock of maize would have taken us through to December."
