Debts to millers who supplied maize flour under the State’s subsidy last year have hit Sh3.4 billion, pushing some processors out of business even as the government remains adamant on settling the bills.
A special review by Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu notes that as the government delayed payment of the bills to some 116 millers who participated in the programme, interest on the debts had accumulated by about Sh400 million by the end of October.
