Agriculture docket was under URP.  Ruto appointees what went wrong? We were not told Ruto is a hard worker who is always in office before 6am??

As long as nobody will be forced to eat - we should allow free import of maize. Many people going to bed hungry could do with yellow ugali.

If after 50yrs we cannot compete with international maize/sugar/rice/wheat prices - then we need to find something else to do.

With the fall army worm having spread across the country, in the next one year we will have to do with yellow maize flour.

I wish i can get hold of that yellow maize to feed cattle we are fattening. This is really good https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-16/kenya-to-import-yellow-corn-for-first-time-since-2011-on-drought if cattle feed people can start selling things like chicken feed,pig,dairy and beef cheaply. Kenya can start enjoying cheaper eggs,chicken, pork even beef.

Not all yellow maize is animal feed.  Just correcting a common perception.  That said, this Ukrainian shipment, from a war zone no less, could be animal feed.
