National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale Vows to Name Sugar Cartels Next Week

National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale has vowed to name cartels behind the importation of contraband sugar into the country.

Speaking at the inaugural Garissa High School Alumni Conference, Duale said he had tabled a list of individuals involved in the smuggling of suspected poisonous sugar before Parliament’s Agriculture and Trade Committees and their identities will be revealed on Tuesday.

“Report of people who imported sugar that is not fit for human consumption is with committee of parliament and I will name them on Tuesday,” said Duale.

“These sugar barons, whoever they are, regions they come from… will account for their business dealings before parliamentary committees,” he added.

The vocal politician also delved into the lifestyle audit ordered by President Kenyatta, noting that the exercise should begin from 1963, when the Kenya attained independence to date.

“We are more than prepared for the lifestyle audit, we must know who owns what, we must clear this country with corruption, we must who are importers of bad sugar, selling drugs and destroying forests,” he added.
