The government has dropped plans to import 12.5 million bags of maize that were meant to address the “maize deficit in the country.”
The Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Mwangi Kiunjuri, had insisted that the government was going to import maize but recanted the statement on Tuesday.
Mwangi Kiunjuri now says that time that had been set aside to import maize into the country has elapsed saying Kenyans will have to endure the deficit until the end of the year.
