A video of Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka inspecting supermarket shelves in search of the elusive KSh 90 maize flour, commonly known as unga, has sparked a buzz online. This comes after President William Ruto announced that unga prices had dropped to KSh 90 in all supermarkets and shops—a claim many Kenyans, including Kalonzo, have challenged.
In the video, Kalonzo is seen walking through the aisles of a supermarket, carefully checking the shelves for the promised KSh 90 Unga. However, his search proved fruitless as he only found maize flour priced at KSh 130 and above. This has fueled an ongoing debate about the affordability of basic commodities in the country.The video has gone viral on social media, with many Kenyans applauding Kalonzo for personally inspecting the situation. Social media users praised him for highlighting the reality that many Kenyans are facing when it comes to the high cost of living.
The issue of Unga prices has been a hot topic in Kenya, with citizens expressing frustration over the rising cost of essential goods despite government promises to lower prices. Critics argue that the KSh 90 Unga may not exist or is inaccessible to the majority of Kenyans.
