• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Thirty six mobile driers are in the process of being purchased in the country from parts of the 2010/2011 Financial Year budgetary allocation to address post-harvest crop management losses, including loss through contamination of maize by aflotoxin. The driers are expected to be delivered by 3rd December, 2011. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the driers are costing Kshs272 million. One drier is costing Kshs6,900. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the capacity is 5 tonnes one hour and they will be distributed to districts where there are no driers. Some of the districts, especially Rift Valley, have driers. However, there are some parts of this country which have no driers like Central and Eastern provinces, among other parts. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, at the beginning, they will be managed by the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) but at the end, they will be community based projects.

There are a total of 40 districts. These include Central Kirinyaga, Nyeri, Murang’a, Coast, Eastern, Nyanza, the Rift valley and Western. Those are the areas where the 40 driers will be distributed. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have a warehousing receipt programme and I would like to encourage the farmers that instead of incurring costs of fumigation and other chemicals, they should deposit the cereals with the NCPB and the Board will make sure that the chemicals, fumigation and drying are done.
