Bonobos at NCPB are at it again.

Apparently NCPB maize reserve stores are empty and the country is staring at yet another acute maize shortage. But with the elections around the corner no surprises here.

Next batch probably coming from Mexico.

Full of aflatoxins

In Kitale we have harvested, no government plan to open NCPB, brokers are having a field day buying a 90Kg bag at 2,000 from desperate farmers who want to pay term 2 school fees. Very painful given that DAP fertilizer is now almost 5k for a 50Kg bag.

The universe is never fair… live with it

The universe is never fair… live with it

Maize should be left to the free market just like other crops. Let the market dictate the prices not some corrupt govt officials.

Kenya is cursed

You were born a skinnie phlegm spitter so you should know. Not fair, huh?

Those “NCPB maize reserve stores” are the biggest scam in the country. They are an avenue to siphon billions of tax payers cash. Let millers buy the maize from farmers/market and store themselves. Mahindi ikiisha we can import or we can eat rice, chapati or potatoes.

Worst part is hao brokers watarudi to the same NCPB who claim they don’t have money to buy maize, na watauza 1 bag for 4k. Hawajalipa transport. Hawajalima shamba. Hawajatumia fertiliser. So one buys 500 bags from a desperate farmer, pays him 1M, bribes some corrupt officials and walks out with a little under 4M. Maize farming in Kenya is a racket.

Yeye ni cartel.

Ruto family sold maize to Eldoret NCPB

A farm owned by Deputy President William Ruto’s family is being investigated by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission over its supply of maize to the National Cereals and Produce Board.

According to the EACC list, Koilel Fam was paid Sh20.8 million for supplying 11,844 bags of maize to the NCPB. The list does not state when the maize was supplied. EACC spokesman Yassin Amaro yesterday described the probe as “tedious” as it involved physical verification of whether the farms actually exist.

“When someone is paid Sh200 million, for instance, we have to know what kind of farm they have,” he told the Star.

MPs Joshua Kuttuny (Cherangany), Silas Tiren (Moiben) and Alfred Keter (Nandi Hills) have caused controversy in Rift Valley by demanding an investigation into Ruto’s involvement in the maize business.

In a TV debate on Tuesday with Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen, Kuttuny claimed that Ruto’s firm doing business with government amounted to conflict of interest.

Agriculture PS Richard Lesiyampe and NCPB managers have been charged over causing losses in the NCPB.

Last month Agriculture CS Mwangi Kiunjuri said he had been given names of 21 individuals who delivered ‘air’ to the NCPB silos

On October 5 at ASK, Uhuru told Kiunjuri to catch the people stealing NCPB money or face jail himself.

NCPB ni vitu za failed states na kule citizens hawajui kuplan. Vile citizens hupata kitunguu na vitu zile zengine wakati wa kiangazi…wapate mahindi ivo.

They had the grain, they sold the grain where did the money go???
Hii ni kama kua na duka inafanya vizuri and you are getting profits but hauna pesa ya ku replenish stock.
They need billions to buy grains, they sold the last batch for billions, zilienda wapi???

Why not privatize

Hii NCPB is the biggest scandal in this country. Each year they are given billions to buy maize from farmers. They latter sell the maize to millers and the billions disappear into thin air.
