President Ruto directs NCPB to fasttrack distribution of subsidized fertilizer » Capital News

NAIROBI, Kenya, Apr 8 – President William Ruto has directed the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) to fast-track the distribution of subsidized fertilizer countrywide.

Speaking after touring the NCPB Depot in Eldoret town Monday, the head of state said that decentralizing distribution of the fertilizer is at the interest of farmers as this will increase uptake for increased food production.

The President encouraged farmers across the country to redouble the use of the subsidized fertilizers saying this the easiest way to increase production, thus lowering the high cost of living.

He further assured Kenyans that fraudsters of fake fertiliser will be prosecuted.
