And in what seems like a towering feat of accomplishment, the price of unga is down to a reported price of Sh97, down from Sh230. I'm not sure how the government connects the increased supplies after a bumper harvest, hence the lower prices, since they only supplied crushed stones disguised as subsidised fertiliser.
