The National Cereals and Produce Board cannot account for over Sh2 billion allocated for the purchase of subsidised fertiliser, according to the Auditor General.

In his latest report tabled in the National Assembly yesterday, Edward Ouko said the amount was part of Sh3.7 billion that could not be accounted for at the department of Agriculture in the 2016-2017 fiscal year.
