The Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) has kick-started a nationwide crackdown targeting all businesses involved in the illegal sale and supply of sugar in the country.
In a press briefing on Wednesday, August 27, the board's Product Quality Officer, Joseph Wafula, said that the operation will target all small-scale and large-scale sugar retailers and distributors, including shops and supermarkets, who contravene sugar regulations.
According to Wafula, several businesspeople in Nairobi have already been nabbed with large loads of sugar, which were to be sold illegally.
Wafula noted that the board will take immediate legal action on such dealers once the investigations have been completed.
