Quote:According to the farmers, cartels imported huge stocks of maize from Uganda at Sh1,800 per bag before selling the produce to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) depots at Sh3,200.
They named Bungoma, Kisumu and Nakuru as some of the NCPB depots where the cartels sold the imported maize.
A section of millers have admitted that cartels took advantage of the early opening of NCPB stores store to buy and deliver the produce.
“All we know is that most of the maize imported by cartels from Uganda ended up in the NCPB stores while most farmers were still harvesting the crop,” said a miller who requested anonymity. you are either a capitalistic society or you are not! no one owes you anything! Maskuma wewe iko na mcheso sana Even in capitalistic societies, there are biz ethos that businessmen are expected to abide by. Ethos like refusing to buy maize at 1800 across the border and selling to govt at 3200? Buying maize from Ug and passing it of as Kenyan maize is fraud But expecting ethics from you is like expecting to find a cactus in Antarctic If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

FYI govt is only supposed to maintain a strategic maize reserve of "x" number of bags, not serving as a marketing channel for maize farmers where govt buys maize at artificially high prices and sells to millers leading to abnormally high unga prices.

Otherwise corruption will never end We should open the EA borders to allow free movement of produce, goods and services. Why should a kenyan be buying a bag of maize at 3200 bob while it is 1800 across the border in UG? Why should a farmer be buying poultry feed at 2300 bob a bag while it is 1500 in UG? We should open the borders like the EU has done to promote trade and increase productivity.

YES! And in addition the grain should be traded openly in an exchange to be fair to the farmer and buyer. Why does govt buy maize anyway? It doesnt buy coffee or tea The same mess is in the sugar industry. Because mumias and other millers claim they dont have enough cane to make sugar, they get licenses to import and sell sugar. They thus buy sugar at the world market price of 35 bob a kilo and sell the same to kenyans at 120 bob. And the tax payers still have to bail the companies out coz even with the "theft" from kenyans, they claim to be making loses. Kenya would be better off buying sugar from brazil at 35 bob instead of the cartels making citizens buy it at 120 per kilo. If kenyan sugar farmers cant manage to supply sugar at 35 bob a kilo, then they should switch to something else. Innocent wananchi shouldn't bear the burden of the sugar farmers uncompetitiveness/inefficiency. https://www.isosugar.org/prices.php

They delivered digital maize. In other words the maize only exists on paper or in computer files. They delivered air and got paid. Hapo ndipo njumbiree imetufikicha.
