Kenyans can now breath a sigh of relief after the government announced a reduction in the cost of maize flour over the next month. The Ministry of Agriculture through the CS Peter Munya today said it had inked a deal with millers to bring down the cost of flour which has been retailing at over Sh210 at major retail outlets in recent weeks further thinning the spending power of consumers. “The Ministry of Agriculture shall subsidize the price of maize flour being produced/sold by the miller for a period of four (4) weeks from the date of this contract,” read part of the agreement . A 2kg packet will sell at ksh 100, 1-kilogram packet will retail at Sh52 and the 500-gram packet at Sh30.
