How was the Government of Kenya satisfied that this Southern African company was not helping a South African company to sell its maize here? Why did the Government not do its own inspection? I also realize that in this particular file, there is a company called Afgril Trading Company Limited. This is the same company that brought spoilt maize that was returned to South Africa. Why is the Government continuing to do business with a company whose product was returned back and yet in this one they have given them 25,000 metric tonnes?"}
