Security agencies in Nakuru and Meru have netted more than 400,000 bags of suspected contraband sugar in the ongoing crackdown on counterfeit goods.

In Nakuru, Police Commandant Hassan Barua said samples of the sugar have been taken to the government laboratory to know if its fit for human consumption.


How can this amount of sugar pass through the ports of entry without detection?

How does a sugar company produce and market sugar that is unfit for human consumption? What is the sugar meant for?

The sugar is contaminated in shipping and handling

But the bags are labelled at the factory as unfit for human consumption. Was it meant for animal feeds?

Also if you are manufacturing or trading in sugar, why would you add the very expensive mercury and copper to the product? That doesn't make any sense. Unless the sugarcane was grown in fields whose soils have high levels in mercury and copper.

And who imported the so called industrial sugar? Which alcohol was he going to manufacture or which soft drink company does he own?

The process of sugar importation starts with acquiring a license or the renewal of an existing one. No one is question who issued the license(s),when, what were the set out conditions and how much was to be imported. If this was not done, then we are dealing with smuggled sugar, if not, some fellows from AFA ought to have joined the NYS suspects a week ago.

Yaani all these counterfeit and contaminated sugar barons got bail for selling poison?

But we all know in Kenya you cannot import that amount of sugar without a very, very well connected politician kurukisha border! Kwani hii sukari yote ilipitia wapi??? Who is behind this poison?

BBI will solve it
