Thirteen suppliers who failed the vetting at the locational level delivered maize to Eldoret and Kisumu National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) depots and were paid more than Sh1 billion, a Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation audit shows.

The audit by head of internal audit unit at the ministry Moses Karanja, which has been submitted to the parliamentary Committee on Agriculture by PS Richard Lesiyampe shows that some farmers had quoted farm sizes that were not realistic in the areas indicated on the forms.
