It's sad that most people in Mt Elgon have not accessed the 2kg packet of maize flour trading at Sh90. For instance, a shopkeeper who has to travel from Mt Elgon to Bungoma town, approximately 45km to get the flour cannot sell the same at Sh90. Earlier on, his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka had hinted on the "Unga Revolution" which will sweep Jubilee out of power. The countrywide shortage of maize flour is blamed on Jubilee's alleged strategy to woo voters with cheap maize flour. Jubilee should also assure consumers that the subsidy will not disappear after the elections.
