Baringo Senator Gideon Moi has asked the National Treasury to release funds to enable the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) buy maize from farmers.
Gideon said the government has continued to ignore the plight of farmers in the Rift Valley.
“The manner in which the government is handling serious issues facing farmers in the Rift Valley leaves a lot to be desired. There is no seriousness in addressing their plight,” he said.
