The floor subsidy that made some save a cent or two is set to end next week.
It has been taxing being a Kenyan these past months, from fuel prices hiking, schools abruptly crossing, and now the end of the subsidy flour.
The news broke after the chief executive at Capwell industries made a statement denoting that the contract they had with the government is culminating next week.
"The program was to run for a month from the contract that we had with the government. It is coming to an end next week,” remarked Rajan Shah, chief executive of Capwell Industries.
In July, the government had an agreement with the millers to have a subsidy program that runs for a month.
KOT had a lot to say on the same, some couldn't care less while others proceeded to suggest alternatives.
@ Hesham Hassan: Whoever is taking over will probably order the subsidy to continue as “shukrani ama namna gani?”
@Chief Guest: Fuel subsidy will also end soon. The incoming government wanawachiwa shell
@Roki: I bought 2kg Raha flour at 280bob on Friday. A friend bought it at Ksh. 300 yesterday.
@Charles Muia: The irony is that the supermarket shelves will be fully stocked as soon as the subsidy comes to an end.
@Samuel esco: We never even saw the flour in the first place, which subsidy was that? We are happy Uhuru is leaving, we better be hungry but with peace in our hearts.
@Kariuki Kaniaru: The new administration is in for a rude shock
@James Mwadeghu: A dawning reality after the campaign period.
@Elricko: that's great. buying this cheap unga at 110 feels like buying substandard flour.
@Gasheri Regina: Jamani default settings zimerudi haraka sana
@Kenyan Trucker 001: 1kg of maize is KS 70. Posho mill charges KSh5 per kg. Total is KSh75. Why pay more?
@Oligarch: Tutakula ndizi sasa, achana na sembe
@Ken Ganira: What do you mean,shoot up?subsidy was a sham. we still buying at 230
