Deputy President William Ruto has today accused the government of increasing prices of unga.Ruto, who was campaigning in Kajiado, could not understand why the government failed to control the prices of maize flour to the point of rising to Ksh200 per 2kg.
“A packet of Unga is now retailing at a historic price of more than Sh200. It is sad. Millions of Kenyans are burdened by the high cost of living because of failure to put in place interventions such as farm inputs subsidy that could allow farmers produce enough to eat and surplus for sale.
Those crying about the crisis are responsible for this crisis due to their misplaced priorities. Kenya Kwanza — through its Bottom-Up Economic Plan — will address this problem.
