The National Assembly Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives is investigating the handling of over 27,000 metric tonnes of imported sugar declared unfit for direct human consumption.

• 27,839 metric tonnes of sugar, imported by Mombasa Sugar Refinery Limited (MSRL), was found by the Kenya Bureau of Standards to be raw sugar meant for refining, not direct consumption.
• Key figures questioned include Kenya Sugar Board Chief Executive Officer Jude Chesire and Director of Regulation and Compliance Samwel Kembo.
• Lawmakers are demanding clearance documents and detailed records of the sugar's movement from the Port of Mombasa to a warehouse in Nairobi, raising concerns about potential diversion.
