The Ministry stated that the e-voucher could not be used to purchase fertiliser from retailers. The Government has put in place mechanisms to ensure that there will be no shortage of fertiliser at the NCPB depots. The response goes further to say that NCPB has set up last mile redemption The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

"content": "The third issue that he raised was on the mechanism the Ministry has put in place to ensure that farmers in the North Rift receive subsidised fertilisers in the next one week before the planting season begins. The NCPB has put in place a distribution plan in conjunction with all contracted suppliers to ensure that the required subsidised fertiliser reaches all the depots and last mile centres in time before the planting season begins. The fertiliser distribution schedule started on 11th March 2024. We have a table which basically shows that Uasin Gishu County was given 63,800 bags during the first week. It was given 59,600 bags during the second week. It was given 46,400 bags during the third week. It was given 46,400 bags during the fourth week. The total is 215, 200 bags. A total number of 12,000 bags of fertiliser were distributed in Kitale Town during the first week. Another 16,000 bags were distributed during second week. Also, 12,000 bags were distributed during the third week. Then another 10,000 bags were distributed during the fourth week. The total is 50,000 bags. A total number of 8,000 bags of fertiliser were distributed in Kapenguria Town during the first week. Then 10,000 bags were distributed during the second week. Thereafter 6,000 bags were distributed during the third week. Then 6,000 bags were distributed during the fourth week. The total is 30,000 bags. A total number of 4,200 bags of fertiliser were distributed in Elgeyo Marakwet during the first week. Then 3,000 bags were distributed the second week. Then 1,800 bags were distributed during the third week. Thereafter, 1,200 bags were distributed during the fourth week. The total is 10,200 bags. A total number of 87,000 bags of fertiliser were distributed in the entire North Rift region during the first week. Then 88,600 bags were distributed during the second week. Then 66,200 bags were distributed during the third week. Thereafter, 63,200 bags were distributed during the fourth week. The total for the four weeks is 305,400 bags."

"content": "The fourth issue was on the modalities the Ministry has put in place to enhance effectiveness of the e-voucher system in order to minimise the long queues at the depots. The Ministry has put in place the following modalities to ensure effectiveness of the e-voucher system: 1. Timely release of both planting and top dressing e-vouchers to all registered farmers for all the value chains. 2. The e-vouchers issued to farmers do not have restrictive expiry date. 3. All counties with registered farmers will be supplied with the required subsidised fertilisers. 4. Identified last mile centres to be named by NCPB and county governments at ward level to improve access to all farmers."

When I was seeking for it, the farmers had a lot of difficulties in terms of accessing subsidised fertiliser. However, things on the ground have really improved now. Farmers are able to access it. The pressure has gone down."
