The high cost of living remains a major challenge for the majority of Kenyans, according to a survey by Tifa Research Firm. The report shows that the price of Kenya's staple food maize flour rose by 65 percent and sugar prices by more than 50% since August last year, pushing food prices beyond the reach of the majority of Kenyans.
