The NCPB depots in question are Eldoret, Moi’s Bridge, Kitale, Bungoma, Kisumu and Nakuru. IMPORTED MAIZEAccording to the official, the scandal involves several individuals who delivered the cheaply imported maize to NCPB depots at night and received prompt payment. Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri has acknowledged that some powerful individuals were behind the maize scam. Leaders from the North Rift have demanded an independent audit to determine the quantity of maize delivered to the depots. Mr Wanyonyi said they will present a motion to Parliament, on resumption on Tuesday, to compel the Agriculture ministry to ensure cases of corruption are properly handled.
