Kenya yaamua kulipa kisasi, sasa hamna Mtanzania kuingia Kenya bila vibali

[Iconoclastes]

Brother be sincere and bring us the findings showing that the cost of maize flour is 2,400Tsh, otherwise this is based on your personal intuition!

More over, i would like you to bring the current reports form WFP and FAO showing that tz is facing hunger, just as i did, remember the report i shared here about food shortage in Kenya was published a few weeks ago,

About the TWAWEZA REPORT, Yes there were times where tz had food shortage, especially in December 2016, January, February, march and in some area in early April! If u went thoroughly the report, you will find it speculates that period! Therefore, I'm sorry but that report is outdated, it will just remain in records!

Bear in mind that, wakati twaweza wanatoa hiyo report, huko kenya hali ilikuwa mbaya zaidi hadi watu wanakosa mahindi ya kununua, hata kama pesa walikuwa nayo! Tofauti na hapa tz, mahindi ya kununua yalikuwa yanapatikana kila sehemu!

I dont see the need to show the latest reports. They wont be different from the data that have been posting since 2010.
I am glad that u have acknowledged that Tanzania has indeed been grappling with food shortages, it is not a a paradise where food is plenty and everybody well nourished, while Kenya a starving nation desperately looking up at Tanzania for assitance.

Now, regarding the Twaweza report, u say that the hunger ended abruptly
after April, really? Where is the evidence of that.

If Tanzania has recovered from the drought, so is Kenya. But u are conviniently mistaking the current maize shortage in Kenya for lack of food.

But I can very confidently tell u that Kenya currently does not experience food shortages, except for the staple dish, and that more Tanzanians than Kenyans were affected by the hunger.
When the Wfp release that terrible global map of theirs again later this year, u will see.

Hint: 78% of 54million vs 3million of 47million.

In Summary

• Tanzania has closed its borders restricting the movement of grain in a move aimed at ensuring there is no export of grain from the country to protect the limited stocks.
• Zambia has agreed to sell to Kenya 55,000 tonnes of white maize, but with the closure of the border, the commodity may have to use a longer route through Rwanda and Uganda.

Nairobi is talking with Dar es Salaam to open its border so that maize from Zambia can pass through and ease the current shortage.

Tanzania has closed its borders restricting the movement of grains in a move aimed at ensuring that food crops are not exported from the country to protect its limited stocks.

Director of Crops in Kenya's Ministry of Agriculture Johnson Irungu says the talks are being spearheaded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Zambia has agreed to sell to Kenya 55,000 tonnes of white maize, but with the closure of the border, the commodity may have to use a longer route through Rwanda and Uganda.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in talks with Tanzania to allow maize coming in from Zambia to pass through their country,” said Dr Irungu.

He noted that some grains from Uganda have started coming for the first time since the beginning of the year.

A document from the ministry seen by the Business Daily indicates that 111,000 bags of maize have been exported to Kenya via Tororo in eastern Uganda.

Kenya is suffering an acute shortage of grain following poor harvest last year resulting from erratic rains experienced during the planting season in 2016.

The country normally imports grain from Uganda and Tanzania to bridge the deficit.

Tanzania has restricted export of maize while Uganda did not have a good harvest last season, with the little available finding its way to South Sudan where it fetches a premium.

Apart from these two countries, Kenya also imports maize from Malawi and Zambia. The two countries had also banned export of the grain but Zambia has just lifted the ban.

The shortage compelled the Nairobi to allow duty free imports of the grain outside the East African Community states, under a subsidy programme.

According to the Agriculture ministry, 1.2 million bags of maize has so far been sold to millers under the subsidised scheme with 3.2 million bags expected before the end of next month.
