Kenyans will for the first time in weeks enjoy cheap ugali after the government announced the launch of a subsidy programme for maize flour.
In what looks like a political coup by outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Co-operatives (MOALFC) announced that a 2kg packet of maize flour would retail at Sh100 for the next four weeks, a reduction of 60 per cent from the current price of Sh250.
