    "content": "possible level. We are not children to be made to believe that a common Kenyan can smuggle sugar from say Somalia and then they use the term “porous borders”. Sugar is smuggled into this country in hundreds of tonnes. There is no way you can smuggle sugar as if you are smuggling some small items. This sugar gets into the country through the Port of Mombasa and once it gets into the country, it is regularised. It floods and distorts the market and, therefore, makes the Kenyan-produced sugar too expensive to compete effectively. Until we are able, as a country, to gather the courage and confront this monster of sugar smuggling by well-connected and protected people, livelihoods of millions of Kenyans will continue to be in jeopardy."
