The shocking revelation of the missing fertiliser has raised serious concerns about the management of donated goods in the country. Auditor General Nancy Gathungu’s report highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability in the handling of such valuable resources.
The fertiliser, which was meant to support farmers in increasing their crop yields, has now vanished without a trace. This not only represents a significant loss in terms of monetary value but also has a direct impact on the agricultural sector in Kenya.
The missing 564 tonnes of raw fertiliser would have been processed into 1,643 tonnes of ready-to-use fertiliser, valued at a staggering Sh 197 million. This lost opportunity to boost agricultural productivity is a major setback for the country’s food security goals.
The disappearance of the fertiliser while in transit raises questions about the security and monitoring of donated goods in Kenya. How could such a large quantity of fertiliser go missing without anyone noticing? Who is responsible for overseeing the transportation and distribution of donated goods?
The government must urgently investigate this matter and hold those responsible for the disappearance of the fertiliser accountable. It is crucial that measures are put in place to prevent such incidents from happening in the future and to ensure that donated goods reach their intended beneficiaries.
Farmers who were expecting to receive the fertiliser to improve their harvests are now left without this crucial input. The impact of this loss will be felt across the agricultural sector and could have far-reaching consequences for food production in Kenya.
As more details emerge about the missing fertiliser, it is essential that the public stays informed and demands transparency from the authorities. The Auditor General’s report serves as a wake-up call for better oversight and management of donated resources in the country.
In memory of the 564 tonnes of fertiliser that disappeared, let us strive for greater accountability and integrity in the handling of donated goods. The agricultural sector is the backbone of Kenya’s economy, and we cannot afford to let such valuable resources go to waste.
