Kebs officials suspended over release of illegal sugar

President William Ruto's government suspended 27 officials in connection with the illegal sugar.

The sugar in question was imported to the country in 2018 but was flagged by KEBS for want of expiry date specification.

Kebs marked the 20,000-50 kgs bags of sugar as unfit for human consumption.

It then directed that it be destroyed at the owner's cost by either burning or burying.
