Govt subsidy to cut 2kg maize flour packet to Sh90 in 24hrs

[Kafrican]

Propaganda.... The country experienced drought for about 5 months so the shortage is just but a post-drought consequence

Yes obviously the opposition will try to earn some bonga points, that is expected...
But even so...just using your own thinking...
This is not the first time we have had droughts, surely, both the ministry and the millers MUST have seen this coming,(a case of history re-re-repiting itself) they saw the grain reserve depleting, if it took less than a week for maize to arrive, then why didn't they start ordering the maize the first week when the drought started early in advance... I mean did they really expect we would be having much of a harvest with drought???
Theirs are only two three things that explain this, Negligence from the govt, incompetence or corruption between private maize millers with govt officials who have a hand in the private sectors....

No one can convince me that this crisis was not avoidable

Naamini bei itashuka kweli... Lakini kitu ambacho siamini ni vile tunachukuliwa wajinga... Has anyone of you watched Zoo(tv series)? One company catalyzed an epidemic then offered a solution ended up being seen as the hero and made a tonne of profit afterwards....

So the maize millers caused a shortage, then just when the time was right, a ship waiting somewhere appeared, and now the govt us going to pay them money for every 2kg they sell at 90bob.... Remember in a good day its supposed to be 70 per 2kg...

Then on the other side, a govt that has failed to ensure food security by holding at least 3months worth of maize in a capitalist country has decided to directly subsidise maize using our own taxes that we overpay every single day from our salaries and anything we buy.. They are doing it for 6 months, just enough time to get re-elected...like seriously, are people blind? Am I the only one seeing this politrics..
These people are importing cheap maize from these countries, why are they still selling it at the same price of 160 where the govt will pay them money so the customer can get it at 90sh.... These millers have for long since independence tried so many tricks in the book to get extra profit... Being experienced at this they must have seen drought comming... They could have imported the maize way ahead of time...what is to say this wasn't a well orchestrated man made crisis by all those millers in that list collaborating with some govt officials

You have a point, anything is possible in this country, farmers and traders hoarding maize. I remember Raila was faced by a similar situation when he was prime minister in 2011 Raila: Millers hoarding maize

This is the business to do for this era...because people are increasing in arithmetic ratio of 2, 6, 10, 14 e.t.c while the number of the plantation are still the same that means the demand for food is going to be higher for the next coming years.

Niko hapa mbeya, nanunua na kuuza unga and I can see mega profit and easy money that's I'm making.

Voila!

Ona ulivyo mbishi kwa vitu vyakijinga
sasa labda nikuambie kitu
Kaliua,Kangeme,Igagagala,Usinge,Usoke
maeneo hayo hawapendelei kutumia Unga wa vikoba
yaani unga ulio Pakiwa kwenye vifuko,
Maeneo hayo Hutumia kununua Madebe ya mahindi na kusaga wenyewe,
Sasa muulize huyo unaye mjua Wewe
Debe la Mahindi Kaliua{Kaliwa}
Ni 12000-15000Tsh
Sasa piga hesabu
Debe moja linatoa Kilongapi za Unga
kisha pata hesabu.

Kangeme Unayo izungumzia huko hutumia Aina 2
Unga wa muhogo na unga wa mahindi
Muhugo kule 1Kg=500
Kangeme Mchele 1Kg ni 1100Tsh sawa na 51Ksh

NAIROBI, Kenya, May 16 – A two-kilogram packet of maize flour will cost Sh90 from the current Sh160 by Tuesday following a subsidy agreement between the government and millers.
Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Willy Bett says the government will use Sh6 billion in this subsidy program that will see millers access 90kg of maize at Sh2,300.
The government is expecting about five million bags importation of maize through this program by importers.
Bett says the move is a temporary intervention that will continue until stock normalises in about four to five months when harvest of the long rains gets in.
He says the country is also seeking more maize in Zambia and Ethiopia as the government tries mopping out any maize through negotiated prices.
“We have negotiated with importers, and will are only accepting bags worth Sh3600 per 90Kg bag, we will foot the upper cost for the millers,” he said.
Currently, the cost of 90Kg bag is at Sh4,600 in the country and Sh4,300 in the region.
He says the country is also seeking more maize in Zambia and Ethiopia as the government tries mopping out any maize through negotiated prices.
Moreover, the government has waived duty on the importation of sugar and milk products In a bid to reduce the price of the commodities.
“Late last year, Kenya faced severe drought that prolonged to 2017 destabilising supply,” he stressed.

Huku tz is business usual nobody cares hata kilo ifike 3000tsh

Wacha! Ati 250?

Of course, yes bu is Tzs.

 

[Iconoclastes]

Of course, yes bu is Tzs.

I know, but that is too high. Kenyans are gritting their teeth over the ugali flour costing Ksh160.
