Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the beginning, we sent various types of fertilizer to Western Province and Trans Nzoia District. We sent 81,990 bags of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) fertilizer, 21,420 bags of NPK and 40,300 bags of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) fertilizer. As I speak, we still have some of the fertilizer we sent in the stores. In Kakamega Depot, we have 715 bags remaining. In Kitale, there are 15; 351; 208. In Butere, there are 866 bags---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Webuye there are 2,041 bags of NPK. In Kipkaren, there are 1,976 bags, Lugari, 693 bags and Kimilili 4,930. So, we have fertilizer which is subsidized by the Government and also the other one which is being sold at Kshs2,500 by the NCPB.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we cannot afford to open depots everywhere. But I would also request the hon. Members whether they could also assist by putting up some godowns which could be hired by the NCPB for use in those areas.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is in Webuye/Kimilili.

15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, all these fertilizer has been taken to all parts of the country. There is no specific area that did not receive subsidized fertilizer.
