According to the papers, at the time importing of the sub-standard sugar import, “there was plenty of brown sugar within Comesa that was ready to be imported under preferential terms stipulated in the treaties and protocols of the bloc”.
Powerful millers lobbied the government to ignore the Comesa route because raw Brazilian sugar offered bigger margins to greedy merchants. Two companies brought in the largest quantities of raw sugar from Brazil — one a trader and the other a western Kenya-based private miller. Apparently the private miller, Kibos, has been bragging about having built capacity to reprocess raw sugar.
The raw Brazilian sugar was delivered from the mills in Brazil, Swaziland and Dubai by open vessels that often carry fertiliser.
The things that are going on in Kenya are very disturbing. I don’t even want to know them in full because nitapata depression.
For the next few months kunywa strungi or add honey where you normally add sugar.
Wewe unaskia ililetwa na open vessels that carry fertilizer.
Mvua ikinyesha, ndani.
Jua ikiwaka, ndani.
Moisture in the open seas, ndani.
Sea birds zikikunia, ndani.
OK, maybe not that extreme but you do get the drift.
The sugar is contaminated, contains mercury and copper hence why it was sold cheap to our importers. It was probably meant to be dumped at sea, the Kenyan corrupt brigade stepped up the game; to accept the sugar than have it dissolve at sea, feeding Kenyans with toxins for mega profits.
Sadly we are busy equipping hospitals with dialysis machines, current ones unable to cope with the rise of kidney failures. Can we continue to wonder what went wrong with our health?
“Exposure to mercury may result in damage to the gastrointestinal tract, the nervous system, and the kidneys”.
Wewe nawe kwani ulisomea wapi? Hujui contamination ni nini. It means it is mostly sugar but with contaminants in small but harmful amounts.You surely would not notice one crystal of a foreign substance in a spoonful of sugar
Kwanza we need to ask ourselves a very very fundamental question.Naivas,tuskys etc wanakuanga na their own branded sugar kqa shelve.where do they get the sugar and where is the packaging factories ?which farms of sugar cane do they own?
