Linturi said the drop in prices will be occasioned by the imports that the government is planning to do to cushion Kenyans. "We are going to import maize and rice, the projections are so bad that if we do not, our people will die of lack of food," Linturi said. According to the CS, the imports will bridge the gap that had been left by the mitigation measures they had placed as a government.
