    "content": "The same open ended gazette notice that caused all these problems also promoted lack of transparency in the payment, because it was not easy to identify the person who delivered the maize. The open ended gazette notice caused lack of transparency in the identification of farmers. When we met with some farmers in Bungoma County and others in Kitale, Trans Nzoia County, they told us that they have been farmers in those counties for more than 30 or 50 years, and no single person in Kitale does not know them. However, they were shocked that the agricultural officers who have been working with them for many years did not know them because of the many traders, millers, private business people and companies who had imported maize. That meant that the genuine farmers from the grain basket regions of Kenya were not being identified. Therefore, the gazette notice was the core cause of the problem that we have today; the lack of payments of maize farmers.
