"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have gone ahead to enumerate to the House how the 2,077,000 bags were distributed by the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) between 1st July and 30th October. It was 30th of October because that was the period when allegations were made that certain non-deserving companies got maize. Let me state for the record that the NCPB Act, which is the law that guides NCPB, allows the Board to sell maize to millers, distributors, traders, individuals and any other Kenyan who goes before the Board to buy maize. Maize is not a contraband product. Maize is a product that is traded freely in the country. Therefore, there is no crime in any Kenyan going to buy maize from NCPB. Crime arises if somebody buys maize from NCPB and does not pay for it. I want to assure this House that no single bag of maize was picked from NCPB and not paid for. Every bag of maize was paid for. If there is any information to the contrary, I would be happy to know."
