Kenyans Protest Loudly After Popular Eatery, Galitos Introduced ‘Mahindi Choma’ That Costs 250 Kshs

The last time maize caused such a huge ruckus was back in 2009 when the then Agriculture minister William Ruto was involved in a maize scandal.

5 years on, a different cob altogether has Kenyans up in arms, the Galitos corn that costs 150 a piece and 250 for two pieces.

And judging from the uproar on social media, it will be a cold day in hell if Kenyans ever pay that kind of amount for something that usually costs 10-20 Kshs.

Check out some of the reactions:

jatelospensir: KFC started it, they shaped ugali nicely called nudgets, we kept quiet…Sasa galitos has given mahindi choma a fancy name and given it ridiculous pricing…

Shoba Gatimu Harrison: Lakini hiyo mahindi ya 250 ni upus. Sasa ukikula wewe na dame yako, hio ni 500. Manze hiyo ni budget ya sato mtaani. Ketepa ya 100. Njugu za 20. Spoti za 50. Patco za 10. Ki weed ya 70 na Blue moon quarter 150. Na ubaki na 50 ya nduthi, 20 ya credo na 30 ya soda.

Casmir Mogute Hiyo budget ni tighter than taveta
