On his campaign trail in Bungoma County last weekend NASA party flag bearer and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga claimed that the Jubilee administration was to blame for the maize crisis by cutting the incomes of Kenyan farmers.
"In 2012 farmers were getting sh3, 200 for one bag of maize," stated Mr. Odinga. "The Jubilee administration cut this down to sh2, 200 and have refused to heed the cries of farmers to review the price upwards."
