    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this particular Bill. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I come from Nakuru County where agriculture is the main activity. I am also a farmer. Therefore, as I contribute to this Bill, I will give it my best shot. Issues touching on fertiliser in this country and their implications to farmers are very well known. It is very well known that any late harvests in this country are normally attributed to late supply of fertiliser. Currently, in Kitale, there are serious issues touching on farmers’ harvests. These issues are also in Nakuru but we all know that Kitale is our breadbasket. Today, a bag of maize is going for Kshs1,000. This Board should have been formed a long time ago. All along, most farmers in Kenya, including me, thought that there was a board in the Ministry that was handling issues touching on fertiliser. The fact that the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) was left alone to manage issues touching on fertiliser is in itself a challenge to the Board itself. It is known that there is not a single year that fertiliser has been supplied to farmers on time."
