(a) Yes, I am aware that AFC advanced seasonal and development credit to farmers in Loitokitok and other parts of the country. (b) I am also aware that AFC has written demand letters and reminders to farmers who have defaulted in payments. (c) I will consider giving farmers a grace period when they present their cases to my Ministry. Each case will be considered on its own merit."}
