    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to disagree with the hon. Member. The NCPB is currently a very stable parastatal. As we speak, the NCPD does not owe any farmer even a single cent. The previous debt of Kshs295 million was paid last week. Therefore, the management of the NCPB is above board. So, I completely disagree with the my colleague about the stability of the NCPB. I also want to inform him that from now henceforth, the Government has put in place measures to ensure that the NCPB will be an equal competitor with the other players in the market. At the end of the day, we cannot afford to give subsidies. Even if we bring the fertilizer here, the Government will need to chip in. When private firms bring in the fertilizer, they double the prices. That is our biggest problem. The NCPB will sell the fertilizer at more or less the cost price or make a very small profit margin just to keep the Board moving."
