Kenyan government suspends subsidised fertiliser distribution due to substandard quality complaints.

The Kenyan government suspended the distribution of subsidised fertiliser after complaints of substandard fertiliser from National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) stores led to public concerns. The National Development Implementation Committee (NDIC) is investigating the issue and has warned that those found guilty will face legal consequences. The government insists that the fertiliser passed quality checks before importation, but has called for due diligence to avoid dealing with entities lacking integrity and capacity.
