National Cereals and Produce Board has ignored a directive issued by the Ministry of Agriculture in issuing farmers with 20 bags of fertiliser, arguing that the directive has to be communicated in writing.
NCPB says even though the Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya communicated verbally that farmers should be allowed to purchase up to 20 bags, an official communication has not been made, forcing the agency to limit growers to five bags of planting fertiliser.
