When I came on board as minister of agriculture in July of 2011, I found a corrupt and totally inefficient fertilizer sector. The government was spending huge amounts of money on direct procurement and distribution of subsidized fertilizer, but less than 11% of farmers got the fertilizers.
Wakati mimi nilifika kwenye bodi ya Kilimo kama waziri wa kilimo mnamo Julai 2011, serikali ilikuwa inatumia kiasi kikubwa cha fedha kwenye manunuzi ya moja kwa moja na usambazaji wa mbolea ya ruzuku, lakini chini ya 11% ya wakulima waliipata hiyo mbolea.
