    "content": "is corruption and delivery of maize by people who are buying maize from farmers from outside the country. Unfortunately, of the three categories, there is no individual in this Republic who has been arrested for importing maize and delivering it to the NCPB. What has happened? Unfortunately, there are farmers who deliver their maize directly to the depot and those who delivered after mopping them from farmers in their areas. They are now suffering from non-payment of their dues in the name of investigation on matters corruption. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a very serious concern. I have seen a letter from the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). The letter is written to the Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation. The letter tells them: “If you pay those farmers, you will do so at your own risk because we are investigating what is going on in the NCPB.” They can continue doing that investigation. However, it is not in doubt that poor farmers from Trans Nzoia, Bungoma, Uasin Gishu, Elgeyo-Marakwet and Nakuru counties delivered their maize to NCPB. Last year, they laboured and spent everything they had to till their small farms. They are now waiting inordinately for an investigation that is endless and their money that is being held y the Government is not earning any interest."
