    "content": "NCPB because the cartels had already taken advantage of the window of opportunity of importing maize when there was a ceiling. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must sound a caution. I have been a Member of the Cabinet and I know Cabinet works through various sub-committees. When a sub- committee is set up, at the end of the day, whatever decisions and deliberations they arrive at; the person who finally bears the blunt of that action is the Minister in charge of that docket. I think we should run from generalities to pinpointing where the blame lies. We should not just be saying an ad hoc Committee or a committee of this nature, because, at the end of it, those who are culpable are the ones who effect the policy because whatever happens, even when a Cabinet decision is made, it is the person who will effects that policy that will carry out the mandate of Cabinet. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have no intention of condoning anybody. What I am worried about right now is we are looking at farmers who have their maize in the stores – they cannot sell them anywhere – they cannot do anything with the maize. There are people hawking around, buying them for a paltry Kshs1,700. They do not even know where they will get the fertilizers from because the subsidized fertilizer has disappeared from the stores and the vendors of fertilizers are now selling it – the latest this morning was at Kshs3,250 of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP),"
