Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi has accused a section of millers of frustrating government efforts to lower the cost of maize flour, saying they sold their duty-free import permits to third parties and slowed down the shipping of maize in the country.

Mr Linturi said millers had transferred their import permits to unauthorised traders to avoid importing the grain, defeating the bid to lower flour prices.
