”Take Action Against FIVE Jubilee CARTELS Behind Maize Shortage”- Hon Mututho  Tells Uhuru

”Take Action Against FIVE Jubilee CARTELS Behind Maize Shortage”- Hon Mututho Tells Uhuru

May 18, 2017 60 Comments

By G MURAGE
John Mututho claims five families are behind the maize shortage in the country that resulted in higher prices and branded packs by the government.

The former Agriculture committee chairman said the families, which he did not name, were identified while he was in Parliament.

“The five are manipulating the prices of flour despite Parliament passing the Monopolies Act. It’s time the Agriculture CS took action,” he said.

Cabinet Secretary Willy Bett said on Tuesday that the government had started a subsidy programme to provide Kenyans with cheap unga. Though temporary, the move comes as a relief to many Kenyans who have been affected by the high cost of living and skyrocketing prices of maize flour.

Mututho further termed the maize shortage artificial and accused cartels of traders and millers of hoarding to control prices.

The former Naivasha MP claimed on Wednesday that the cartels are in cahoots with the government.

He made the claim just a day after President Uhuru Kenyatta said this was not the case and that he would make a major announcement.

The government has supplied supermarkets with subsidised maize flour that costs Sh90 per 2kg pack. There is also the Sh6.5 billion maize subsidy programme that will involve 20 millers and the duty free importation of milk powder and sugar.
Mututho asked the President to use state machinery and intelligence to unmask those behind the shortage.

“When I was in Parliament the same cartel was responsible for hoarding the commodity and later releasing it to the market at a high price,” he said.

The former MP, who is eyeing Nakuru governor seat, said the matter of high commodity prices was sensitive and worrying.

He revisited the issue of the Galana irrigation scheme accusing the management of running it down.

Mututho said the scheme was one of the best ideas on addressing food insecurity by the Jubilee government and that it had high potential.

He added it had the capacity for 70bags of maize per acre but that this became impossible due to mismanagement.

“I have in the past visited the scheme. It is time the management of the National Irrigation Board, which runs the scheme, improved on productivity,” said the aspirant who has also served as Nacada chairman.

    Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
