A Kenyan parliamentary committee is investigating claims that imported raw sugar, intended for industrial use and considered unsafe for direct consumption, was illegally repackaged and sold to the public. The National Assembly’s Trade, Industry, and Cooperatives Committee, headed by Bernard Shinali, initiated the probe following allegations of the practice. The committee recently visited Kibos Sugar and Allied Industries in Kisumu as part of its investigation. Concerns center around the potential health risks to consumers who may have purchased the altered product. Authorities are seeking to determine the extent of the repackaging operation and identify those responsible. The investigation aims to ensure consumer safety and accountability within the sugar industry. Further details are expected as the committee continues its inquiry.
