Heavy downpour that was experienced between the months of March and April in Murang'a has been blamed for dwindling supplies of common vegetables in many markets within Murang'a County.
Grocery vendors have been forced to import common vegetables from neighbouring counties and also countries like Tanzania leading to high prices of groceries.
Prices of groceries like onions, tomatoes, carrots and green vegetables have surged by over 40 percent in the past one month.
This spike has been attributed to a prolonged dry spell in the months of January and February which was later followed by heavy rains that devastated crops in the farms.
