    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. A lot has been said about the hike of prices of maize, especially during the months of October and November in 2008. There was a time when the price of maize went up from Kshs80 to about Kshs120. The explanation that we got from the trustees is that on 17th October, 2008, a meeting of the trustees was held where the trustees stopped selling maize to millers and traders. They asked them to go and buy maize from farmers. The millers and traders went to buy maize from farmers at a higher price than they were buying from the NCPB. They transferred that high price of Kshs2,300 per bag to the consumers. That is why the price of maize flour went up. That is according to the explanation of the trustees of the NCPB."
