Cereal Millers Association (CMA) have said they do not have plans to hold the government to ransom to release Sh2.5 billion that they are owed by the government under the Unga subsidy programme that was carried out last year under the administration of former President Uhuru Kenyatta.

CMA chairperson Mohammed Islam, while appearing before the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, also said that most of the small-scale millers have been auctioned due to the debt owed by the government.
