Security officials in Nandi County have exposed a racket where brokers and people masquerading as farmers have been flocking National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) depots and stores and obtaining subsidised fertiliser.
Nandi County Commissioner Herman Shambi said brokers and fake farmers have been exploiting all possible loopholes to acquire the cheap fertiliser. Security officials in the county are now threatening to arrest unscrupulous traders exploiting the subsidy programme.
