Agriculture Principal Secretary Richard Lesiyampe has said the price of a packet of maize flour should not exceed Sh115.
Speaking in Mombasa, the PS said even though the subsidy programme ended last December, Kenya has enough maize and a 90kg bag should not cost more that Sh3,200.
“We have adequate supply of maize and we believe that with the current prices stabilising at Sh3,200 for a 90kg bag, there should be no reason a 2kg packet of flour should be anything above Sh115,” he said.
Dr Lesiyampe said if the situation changes, the government will come up with ways to intervene.
