A hopeful sigh for Kenyans as President William Ruto announces that the price of unga will be brought down to Ksh150 from next week. The cost of unga has been at around Ksh230.
President Ruto promised a reduction in the price of maize flour starting next week after the arrival of imported maize.
The Head of State said the move will come as a relief to the high cost of living affecting Kenyans.
The promise of the reduction of the cost of maize flour came at a time the opposition is vowing to resume street protests against the government over the high cost of living and electoral injustice.
Azimio leader Raila Odinga wants the government to ensure that a two-kilogram packet of maize flour retails at Sh100. However, President Ruto has told off the opposition chief over “unrealistic demands”.
