Farmers in Uasin Gishu County want the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) to expedite the receiving of their produce by their depots to shield them from unnecessary expenses incurred while queuing.

Kipkorir Menjo, Uasin Gishu Farmers' Association(KFA) chairman, complained that brokers were delivering produce in bulk in the NCPB Eldoret depot.

''We are demanding that the National Cereals and Produce Board make sure that maize being delivered to the Eldoret depot belongs to farmers from Uasin Gishu and not other people, so that we can ease the queue being experienced,'' Kipkorir Menjo said.

Uasin Gishu is a major producer of maize that is supplied countrywide.
