The situation is dire when you see hasoras staying away from national celebrations.

There is need for cheap maize from wherever to flood the market. Even relief food for urban slums. Schools heads are feeling the heat too.   

Redirect a few billions for the next 3 months to buying maize

It tough. Ghana is going down as we speak.

I think for now - Ruto is praying for miracles to happen

Drought situation alone is big problem.

Some rain is expected in 2 weeks, and I see some maize from Rift.

It is a matter of life and death. Yes it should be in Turkana and all over urban slums. Most elites are enjoying their GMO breakfast cereals but hypocritically shouting GMOs.

GMO maize :D :D :D

People need food.
Any questions can be discussed after they are fed.

Buying maize through NCPB is the easier intervention point. Easing restrictions, easier border entry for trucks bringing maize. Once maize is available cheaply in the market the unga price will fall.  Schools can get it cheaply too. Easier to distribute as relief food.

Unga subsidy is just opaque ukora - why broke Linturi want to go that way.

Farmers are making a killing; this harvest season; so the only intervention has to come from importing GMO maize abroad; esp for animal feeds;

In meantime this yet another opportunity to encourage rice consumption.
