Kenyans have continued to pay more for maize flour despite Agriculture CS Mutahi Kagwe's promise three months ago that the prices would not go up.

A spot check by Kenyans.co.ke has revealed that Kenyans have to part with as much as Ksh175 to get a 2kg bag of maize flour, with the prices ranging from Ksh159 to Ksh175 depending on the store and brand they choose.

The cheapest maize flour in the market goes at Ksh159, while the most expensive goes at Ksh175.

Meanwhile, a 90kg bag of maize is going for up to Ksh6,400 against Ksh4,800 in January.
