DP announces drop in unga prices to Sh159
The Deputy President announced that the price of maize flour would significantly drop in the coming week.
DP Gachagua said that millers had confirmed to President William Ruto that the price of the staple meal would decrease to Sh159 for 2Kg packet from Tuesday.
Speaking during an interview on Sunday evening, the deputy president told viewers that the government had received a consignment of maize to plug in the shortage.
He praised President Ruto’s decision to address the cost of maize flour without using taxpayers' money to pay subsidies to millers.
“I want to ask the opposition to give President Ruto time. We have been in office for only seven months only and we have tried. The price of gas, cooking oil and maize flour has come down, and will continue to decrease,” he said.
Rigathi Gachagua’s remarks followed the head of state’s assurance that Kenyans would buy maize flour at cheaper prices in the coming week.
