    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that farmers in Western Kenya, especially in Bungoma are selling maize produce at Kshs800 per 90 kilogramme bag to brokers. However, it has been noted very well that the grain subsector is fully liberalized. (b) Bungoma, Lugari, Webuye, Kipkarren River and Kakamega silos are open for farmers who want to store their grain under the new Warehousing Receipt Systems (WRS). The Government has authorized the National Cereals Produce Board (NCPB) to buy maize for the Strategic Grain Reserve (SGR) worth Kshs500 million at a price of Kshs1,500 and we expect to purchase approximately 300,000 bags for SGR. (c)The price of diesel is determined by market forces and the Ministry of Agriculture does not play any regulatory role when it comes to pricing of fuel."
