Maize producers in the North Rift have expressed concern at the Government's failure to clear a Sh3.5 billion debt it owes them.

The farmers, who met in Eldoret on Tuesday, said despite promises by high-ranking government officials, they had yet to be paid for the maize they supplied to the National Cereals and Produce Board since January.
