He said the waiver if effected will help boost the farmers' morale and enable them produce in plenty alongside ensuring food security in the county.
The Deputy Governor affirmed the county's commitment to working with the State in ensuring that challenges faced by the farmers are resolved.
Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri on his part, warned public servants involved in illegal sell of subsidized fertilizers that their days are numbered.
"We are going to register all farmers to ease service delivery to them," Kiunjuri said.

"We have already used Sh7.4 billion to pay farmers for the produce delivered," he said.
