Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula has lashed out at the government, accusing it of frustrating farmers' access to subsidised fertiliser. Wetang'ula said the state had put in place strict measures, including demanding for title deeds at cereal boards, before farmers can get the fertiliser. "How many farmers have title deeds when the Ministry of Lands is still grappling with headaches of millions of unprocessed titles everywhere. If I have good neighbours whom I want to assist, then I don't lease land to them. We might have maize coming from countries that are known not to produce maize at the expense of our local farmers," Wetang'ula said.
