The government has bought less than one million bags of maize from local farmers as it seeks to bridge a 25-million-bag deficit. Agriculture CS Mutahi Kagwe says Kenya will import maize from the East African Community and COMESA to maintain a steady supply. Speaking to NTV, Kagwe said the deficit does not pose an immediate emergency, with imports expected to ensure a constant flow of maize into the market.
