00:00 The fertilizer subsidy program is on course.
00:04 We've had challenges because of intermittent supply.
00:09 Fertilizer we were expecting early this month will be arriving, I think by the 10th of April
00:16 because of the challenges we have in the Red Sea.
00:20 But we have looked for alternative sources of fertilizer and I want to assure the farmers
00:26 in Kenya that the government of Kenya will make sure, the Ministry of Agriculture is
00:33 working round the clock to make sure that every farmer gets the requisite fertilizer
00:39 before the season is over.
00:41 So every farmer, we will enhance the supply of fertilizer because we believe that will
00:47 enhance our productivity across all crops that we are growing this season.
00:56 And alongside that, we are also going to make sure that those who sell fake seeds or fake
01:04 fertilizer face the music that they deserve.
01:11 Just today, just today, we have arrested some of the characters who want to take advantage
01:21 of our fertilizer supply program and we have already many more who are already facing court
01:32 because we must eliminate corruption.
01:36 We must deal with those who want to sabotage our fertilizer program firmly, effectively
01:44 and conclusively.
