I had heard rumours that some parents in rural areas offer to pay their children school fees with farm products, but there was really no hard evidence until now.
A school in Eldoret has made it clear to its parents that it will no longer be accepting maize as school fees.
However, it may not be for obvious reasons. You may think that the school administration has woken up to the reality of a monetary economy, but far from that.
The memo contains a signature from the storekeeper which means their storage is probably just full. You can be sure they’ll be accepting maize soon.
