    "content": "We also know very well that Kenyans are ingenious when it comes to adulteration of foods. We are always cautioned to buy foods that have been certified by the KEBS and have other high-quality assurance marks. One must be extremely cautious because Kenyans are very good at adulteration and production of counterfeit foods, which cost much less than real food. They dupe Kenyans to buy counterfeit foods in haste in an attempt to make more money. I will give an example of a product in my local market known as guuzo . It is a form of fermented flour, which comes from sorghum grown in Tharaka. Gadam Sorghum is used in beer production, but guuzo was used to make some local brew, which is now illegal and is, thankfully, not sold anywhere. We were told that it is not meant for human consumption. It is meant for animals as a form of feed. However, we adulterated it by adding a bit of baking powder and other additives which cause it to faster ferment into beer. That is how ingenious we are. Therefore, the establishment of a control coordination office is welcome. Just like KEBS and liquor control boards, we want our foods to also be controlled so that we consume foods that have labels showing that they are fit for human consumption. I support this very welcome Bill."
