The National Cereals and Produce Board management in Kisumu has been put on the spot over negligence that has seen more than 15,000 tonnes of maize go to waste.
Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri, who visited the depot, said he was concerned that although the stores had the capacity to hold 45,000 tonnes of cereals, they were operating at below 60 per cent, with the remaining space being leased out to private businesses.
