Farmers in the country's breadbasket of Trans Nzoia have criticised the government for its failure to settle the Sh800 million it owes Kenya Seed Company (KSC) for subsidised seeds.

KSC Managing Director, Sammy Chepsiror, said he recently held fruitful engagements with Treasury officials over the pending bill expected to rise to Sh1.8b this year.
