If you are fond of mixing your tea with sugar in Kenya, then you should be very worried as smuggled sugar containing dangerous elements could have found itself on our shelves.
A chemical analysis of sugar smuggled into the country by well-connected individuals has yielded shocking findings.
The sugar contains mercury and elements that have the ability to cause cancer.
This was revealed by Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i.
''When you see some of the reports that have come from chemical analyses that have been done, some of what we are selling around as sugar has got high contents of mercury, has got high contents of copper. They are killing us because they are selling poison and no one is safe,'' Matiang'i
Matiang'i's revelations will shock Kenyans who consume sugar in their tea.
He said that authorities would move swiftly against those involved in the shady business.
