    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the past, the NCPB has had its bad days. But that is not to mean that we cannot change and reform it. I want to tell the hon. Member that the NCPB has paid every farmer every coin that we owed to the farming community this year. There is no single cent that is outstanding between the NCPB and the farmers. I also want to tell the hon. Member that the problems of the NCPB are being addressed. We have retrenched close to 1,500 staff. We now have about 400 staff. We have increased the capacity of the NCPB by increasing its capital base from about Kshs350 million. Next year, it will have a capacity of about Kshs4 billion. Basically, the framework upon which the NCPB was required to use in order to discharge its mandate is already in place. So, there is no justification. I want to allay the fears of any hon. Member that the NCPB may not be able to discharge its mandate. It has the capacity to do so."
