President Uhuru Kenyatta yesterday announced that a two-kilogramme packet of maize flour would be retailing at Sh100.
This followed four days of intense talks between officials at the Agriculture Ministry and millers.
Without revealing the exact date when Kenyans would begin to buy cheaper unga, the Head of State noted that the subsidy programme would see the government compensate millers Sh105 for every two-kilogramme packet of maize flour they sell to retail outlets.
