    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Dr. Khalwale has talked about un-procedural release of SGR by managers. Authority once obtained from the SGR Trustees, the NCPB uses its own committees to determine who they sell the maize to. So, all the managers who sat in committees and allocated maize were allocating maize for which authority had already been obtained for sale to either private individuals or millers. The NCPB Act empowers the Minister that, once there is a problem, to limit the persons to which the maize can be sold to. When it became necessary for us to limit the persons to which maize could be sold to, I took that action and instructed NCPB to sell maize to millers and individuals in rural areas only. That is why in November, December and January, we had sold maize only to millers. That is a provision of the law. In ordinary circumstances, anybody can buy maize from NCPB. Anybody can buy beans, rice, fertiliser and all other products that NCPB sells."
