Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Friday flagged off the second consignment of the 88,000 metric tonnes of NPK subsidized fertilizer destined to smallholder tea growers across the country.
The 62 trucks, each carrying at least 100 bags, took off the Syokimau Nairobi Freight Terminus to deliver the fertiliser to respective factories.
“We gave a commitment to Kenyans that within one year, farmers will earn from their sweat and get compensated for their work,” the second in command said.
On September 22, Gachagua flagged off the first consignment of the Sh3.55 billion of subsidised fertiliser.
