Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago has threatened to take the Ministry of Agriculture to court over sub-standard fertiliser. This comes after some farmers in the North Rift complained that their maize had turned yellowish shortly after germination. The farmers blamed the discoloration on the fertiliser used during planting.
The governor said he would seek legal redress if soil-testing proves that the fertiliser used by farmers to plant maize in the current season is sub-standard.
