Kenyans should expect the cost of unga to start decreasing from July 1, following the removal of duties and other charges on imported maize.

Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya said the suspension applies to all border points including the East Africa Community and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa member states.

“This measure is intended to reduce the costs of maize that is coming into the country and therefore impact on the price of unga that is increasing in our retailing points across the country,” he said on Tuesday.
