Millers blame State for maize flour price hike

Unga prices raise on 08/01/2018 (Jenipher Wachie,Standard)

Millers have defended the abrupt rise in the price of maize flour, saying they have run out of stock of cheap maize from the Government.

They explained that by the time the subsidy programme was coming to its tail-end late last year, the Government had drastically reduced the allocation of subsidised maize to them.
