Former Agriculture CS Peter Munya has called out the Kenya Kwanza regime saying that it is full of propaganda.
Speaking on Tuesday, Munya said the Kenyan farmer whom the current regime purports to represent is the most hurt.
He claimed the Ruto regime got rid of subsidised fertiliser and farm input and now farmers are on their own.
"Wakulima walikuwa wanapewa subsidised fertilizer na input hiyo ilitolewa. Kwa hivyo mkulima wa kawaida kwa nchi hii ni kuendelea kuteseka tu. Ile tu wanapata ni propaganda na story kila siku," Munya said during a press conference called by Azimio leaders from the Mt Kenya region.
He added that the Kenya Kwanza government's policy changes have made life tough for the poor including access to basic education.
The former Cabinet Secretary's remarks come in the wake of assurances by President William Ruto that the price of fertiliser has dropped.
Ruto on August 2, said subsidised fertiliser will now sell at Sh2,500 from Sh3,500.
Last year, Ruto announced that the government would prepare farmers for the last planting season by making available 300,000 metric tonnes or 6,000,000 bags of subsidised fertiliser at Sh3,500 each from Sh7,000.
The President on Sunday announced that his administration has so far spent Sh12 billion in fertiliser subsidies.
Ruto said his government has worked hard to do away with cartels who were acting as third parties in fertiliser distributions.
"We have fully done away with fertiliser brokers in order to fully be aware of who is receiving them and in what quantity. We have so far spent Sh12 billion in subsidy," he said.
Ruto insists on subsidising food production but not consumption.
