The National Assembly's Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives is investigating the importation of thousands of tonnes of raw sugar, deemed unfit for direct human consumption, amid fears it could enter the local market.

• Approximately 27,000 metric tonnes of raw sugar were imported, with about 3,900 tonnes currently in Kisumu for processing.
• The investigation is led by Committee Chairperson and Ikolomani MP Bernard Masaka Shinali, who is tracing the sugar's movement from the Port of Mombasa to the processing plant.
• Lawmakers are demanding all import documentation, including customs clearance and health certificates, to ensure no raw sugar is released to consumers before undergoing the required refining process.
