The committee has rejected the prices adding that farmers should be paid over Sh3,000 per bag of maize. The Senate ad hoc committee set up to iron out issues surrounding the maize crisis has rejected the Sh2,300 maize price approved by Cabinet. “This committee rejects the Sh2,300 price of maize that was approved by the Cabinet since this is demeaning to hard working farmers,” he said. He said the report which will be tabled in Senate next week was proposing that the farmers earn over Sh3,000 per bag. Three MPs from North Rift last week accused the DP and his allies of being behind the woes facing maize farmers.
