Thursday, August 20, 2026- A Kikuyu hawker selling roasted maize along a major highway has sparked reactions after charging a group of visiting American tourists Ksh200 a piece.

In a video circulating online, the hawker is seen approaching the tourists’ vehicle as it slows down along the busy highway.

The tourists inquire about the price of the roasted maize, with the hawker telling them that one piece costs Ksh200.

One of the tourists agrees to buy a piece, but the hawker appears to encourage her to purchase more for the other passengers in the vehicle.
