    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, even before the Government imported the 32,000 metric tonnes we had 6,000 bags of 50 kilogrammes of DAP and 145,000 bags of CAN in store. The requirement for this season is 271,000 metric tonnes. We have all that and we will be selling the fertilizer at Kshs2, 500 for DAP and 1,600 for CAN. This is available at the NCPB depots all over the country. By yesterday we had moved over 25,000 bags to the north rift and 1,000 bags to Kajiado. We have more than 100 lorries moving; they are on the road delivering all those fertilizers to various areas. Mr. Speaker, Sir, just for the sake of Members, the North Rift Region requires 54,997 metric tonnes for planting. For top dressing, they need 28,633 metric tonnes. South Rift requires 29,612 metric tonnes for planting and 15,471 metric tonnes for top dressing. Western Province requires 36,718 metric tonnes for planting and 17,957 metric tonnes for top dressing. Nyanza requires 17,959 metric tonnes for planting and 14,250 metric tonnes for top dressing. Central requires 14,250 metric tonnes for planting and 7,445 metric tonnes for top dressing. Eastern Province requires 21,375 metric tonnes for planting and 11,161 metric tonnes for top dressing. Coast requires 3,562 metric tonnes for planting and 1,861 for top dressing. North Eastern Province requires 891 metric tonnes for planting and 465 for top dressing. That is what is required at this time and I can assure this House that we have the fertilizer. It is only that we had a problem; we should have delivered this but the NCPB was taken to court and the case was just determined on Wednesday last week. That is why we are now moving the fertilizer a bit late. I ask the Members to keep a follow up of their areas and if there is no fertilizer they can let us know. I assure them that before the end of this week, every NCPB depot will have fertilizer for sale."
