For example, about a week or so ago, officers from the Ministry of Agriculture visited Moi’s Bridge where right now, maize farmers are having a lot of problems. They are crying that the prices of maize have really dropped. Maize farmers are going through a lot of agony. The officers visited the area and with a lot of impunity told our farmers that if Ugandans can bring maize to Kenya, why can we also not get markets in Uganda. I felt that, that was an abuse for a farmer who has spent the whole year ploughing his farm, planting and tendering for the maize. Some months ago, we were told that there was a deficit of maize in this country. I found that to be the height of impunity."}
