Over the last one year, the price of the maize flour has been increasing significantly due the shortage of maize in the country. This has been orchestrated by the persistent drought that has hit the land in three consecutive seasons.
Kenyans have woken to bad news as the price of maize is set to increase significantly in few days to come.
The people will have to dig dip in their pockets to get a packet of maize flour. This is because the price of the flour is set to go up significantly.
According to the United Grain Millers association, through their chair person Mr. Ken Nyaga, they are contemplating increasing prices of maize flour due to the shortage of maize.
