The government has announced a Sh6 billion maize subsidy to lower the cost of flour to Sh90 for a two-kilogramme packet and easy inflationary pressure.

Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Willy Bett Tuesday said the government will offer millers cash to allow them mill flour at Sh2,300 for a 90-kilogramme bag, from the current Sh4,000 to tame the rising cost of the staple.
