This shocking came in January, one of the believed tough months by Kenyans.
Here was the reaction
Citizens shouldn't even complain about this coz we know anything branded GOK is not supposed to be sold. Let the Mexico Maize be sold now Agriculture CS Willy Bett

Maize is the most grown crop in Kenya, how is it that we are always running out of flour? Where there is shortage, there are opportunities, how is it that farmers are among the poorest lot in the country?
