What Clever Ruto Has Said After CS Kuria Warned Rift Valley Farmers For Hoarding Their Maize

President Ruto has finally broken his silence following the utterances from CS Moses Kuria warning Rift Valley farmers for hoarding maize instead of selling to the government.

Speaking in Eldoret today during the interdenominational church service, President Ruto claimed that Kuria made slight mistake for harassing the farmers but it was a good move because the farmers had refused to sell their maize to the government something that had caused scarcity of maize in the market.

"Mnajua waziri wangu mmoja aliwapatia ilani ya 48hours, nasikia mliharakisha sana Hadi mahindi ikajaa kwa kiwanja lakini alifanya makosa lakini si kubwa sana Kwa sababu mlikwama na mahindi Kwa nyumba so wakati alitanga mkaharakisha so mhakishe namna hiyo ndio tusaidie consumers Kwa sababu ndio market ya mkulima," President Ruto said.

He has therefore asked the farmers to collaborate with the government so that they can benefit directly from the government instead of holding their maize after harvesting from their farms.
