About 2.5 million 90 kg bags of maize under the strategic food reserve that cost the taxpayer ksh 8.7 billion would go to waste and be eventually destroyed unless the national cereals and produce board gets an immediate buyer to convert the produce into maize flour. The national cereals and produce board acting managing director, albin sang told the senate ad hoc committee investigating the maize crisis in the country that the maize was yellowing due to poor storage. An internal audit by the ministry of agriculture that was tabled in parliament in June showed almost 60 per cent of the 3.6 million 90 kg bags of maize that was bought by the board between October 2017 and March 2018 had aflatoxin.
