Bungoma County Government is distributing fertiliser to each of its 45 wards in a plan that seeks to make its 1.6 million residents food secure.
The project will see more than 32,000 bags of Minjingu fertilisers distributed to vulnerable farmers this year. Speaking to the press in Bungoma on Thursday, Governor Ken Lusaka said the county began to distribute fertilisers in 2013, and at the time, 200 farmers from each ward were offered fertilisers. Later this figure was increased 400. "The identification of beneficiaries is public-led to cut on the free-rider problem, diversion and corruption," Lusaka said.
