On Monday, Kenyans on Twitter were furious after fast food outlet, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) announced that it had run out of potatoes. In a statement, KFC said that Kenyans loved their chips over the festive season, which they have now run out of. The fast-food outlet said that as it is working to resolve the potatoes shortage, it will offer alternatives, including buns and Ugali. KFC alongside various other fast food outlets has been importing potatoes from abroad, 'to keep up with international standards' of the various franchises. The announcement, however, did not augur well with many Kenyans who expressed their disappointment, questioning why KFC could not source potatoes locally.
