Consumers are still facing a shortage of maize flour in the market even as the Sh100 maize flour subsidy for a two-kilogramme packet officially came to an end on Thursday.

There were claims that the flour will resurface as wholesalers have been allegedly hoarding the staple in anticipation that they will sell it at a higher price once the subsidy is terminated.
