I think so too. GOK is not usually that efficient. When were decisions taken? Approval? Import? Checks? Inland transport? Milling? Packaging? Distribution? Lord, thank you!

Only the elite might be interested in where the ship came from, the rest of the public want the price of unga to come down. So you want the press to ignore GoK lies? What is the purpose of Journalism? No, I'm not saying they ignore. Journalists are taught to read the mood on the ground then know how best to craft the story to be impactful. Of course this is a mega scandal but their approach was terrible. I agree with you.
Remember brother Tycho (Big up bratha!) and the discussions he used to have, while useful, those discussions were not of interest or use to Wazuans. And they said so. Same scenario here. PRess are being like Tycho of yonder years while citizens are the Wazuans. They are discussing things up there involving lotsa money there while citizens need more ordinary discussions involving just maybe hundreds of shillings. Connection is hard. I remember my ordeal trying to read those posts. Lord, thank you!

I buy unga for my house staff I have been to Nakumatt Nyali over the last 3 weeks. No Ugali flour. They have chapati flour. I have eventually found some Dola, Taifa & another strange brand in the local village. I had to go to 4 different shops to get a total of 10 2kg bags at 180/=each. Not Hostesswhich I have never encountered. Is this not a shortage Are you saying that you eat anything else but they eat ugali? Must they eat ugali to survive? @muchur. Yes they have been eating my stuff while I could not get ugali. Rice, beans, potatoes. But somehow, they don't feel they have eaten a meal until they have ugali. Go figure !!! Peculiar Kenyan habits ?

So did you expect them to sell unga that was in their warehouses awaiting sale and was milled/manufactured in march at the old price of 150 Bob? Since the govt agreed to the subsidy, it meams all unga leaving the factories, whether manufactured in March or today, has to have a sticker or labeling saying its subsidized, since all unga in the market is subsidized. It's like Total company selling petrol at 95bob in april then the govt (ERC) announces a new price of 92 Bob for May. It means all stocks leaving Total have to be sold at 92 bob even if they were imported last year.

Baba now opposes the unga subsidy. Tells his followers, the Naswad, "to buy at the old 150 Bob price and not jubilee's 90bob". http://www.the-star.co.k...ly-cartels-will_c1563317

So as a miller you mill maize in March and even when shelves in supermarkets are getting empty and the price has shot up to a high of 180/= you hoard the unga waiting to sell it at a yet to be announced GOK subsidised price? Amazing!
