The maize was then sold to brokers, among them politicians, at Sh1,750. They sold the same maize to millers at Sh2,600.

Some are said to have exported the maize to Southern Sudan.

    To Ruto, people dying of hunger is nothing and he cares little. Only he thinks Kenyans can't read between the lines. He's denying the obvious just like during the PEV.

    He should have taken responsibility, since he heads this ministry because all this scandals happened with the ministry under his commando.

    How come no MP's or minister are sacked or voluntarily quits? Only in Kenya that wrong doing is an initiation to who is who club? Those involved in those shady deals should be in jail by now. It's saddening to know that our government arms are incapable of protecting the needs of common mwananchi

    the government should also go for the brokers who posed as millers to fleece kenyans. the firing of top managers will only be real if they leave office. thet might choose to remain put and seek help from their gofahers. afterall the public already thinks they are out.
