I am a milk farmer. However, I know – because I represent maize farmers – that at that time, the purchase price of maize from farmers was Kshs2, 300. We bought the maize as a country from various countries, namely South Africa and from the USA. At that time, the international price of maize was very high – it was over Kshs3,000 per bag. I can confirm that."}
