Farmers who grow maize, sugar cane, potatoes and rear dairy cows must be paid properly if they are to join the consistory of happy taxpayers. Factor in transport, milling, packaging and profit, and it is no wonder food prices are going skywards. Other middle income nations’ citizens do not behave as if they are paid in bananas. Their food prices are twice, thrice what Kenyans are whining about. Prevailing food prices are a favour because no one is being forced to eat.
