The Treasury has extended duty waiver on imported yellow and white maize in a move aimed at increasing supply of the staple.

The extension, contained in a special issue of the gazette notice signed by Treasury Cabinet secretary Henry Rotich, will see millers enjoy the duty waiver on white maize for three more months. Yellow maize window will be open for one year.
