    "content": "“Hon. Speaker, it is alleged that the sugar is unfit for human consumption as it contains mercury and copper which are believed to have adverse effects on the human health.” It is no wonder that even the rising cases of cancer should be attributed to this. The killer trade is not only dangerous to the health of many Kenyans who are already victims but also impacting negatively on our economy through loss of millions of shillings and evasion of the Kenya Revenue Authority taxes by the owners of the illicit trade. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairs of the said Committees on where the contraband sugar is coming from; how it has been cleared at the ports of entry; who is the importer and whether the sugar was inspected prior to consumption; how the packager of the contraband sugar acquired the Kenya Bureau of Standards stickers given that most shopkeepers still have this contraband sugar in their possession; what are the disposal plans if any and measures in place to ensure the disposal mechanism is not hazardous to the environment and human health; what measures are in place to ensure that the foodstuff in the market is safe for human consumption and whether there is any arrest that was made to those behind this illicit trade.” Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
