Farmers have asked the Government to pay them for maize supplied to the cereals board. Prompt payment, they said, would help them meet their children’s education obligations. Farmers who spoke to The Standard in Eldoret on Wednesday said they had school fees to pay as schools reopen for first term. They also want to buy farm inputs in order to start land preparations ahead of the next planting season, they added. With the costly Christmas festivities over, focus is now on education.
