Parliament has launched an investigation into the importation, movement and safety of a controversial consignment of 27,000 metric tonnes of raw sugar linked to Kibos Sugar Refinery Limited.
The MPs seek to determine whether importation procedures were followed, whether proper safeguards exist, and whether the consignment poses any risk if it eventually enters the Kenyan market.
The National Assembly Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives raise concerns that gaps in documentation and handling could pose risks to consumers.
