Detectives from Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have opened a probe after 5,000 bags of sugar laced with mercury went missing.
The consignment was stolen from Bollore go down in Changamwe, Mombasa County under unclear circumstances, area OCPD Daudi Loronyokwe said.
Loronyokwe said the contaminated sugar might have been stolen three weeks ago alongside 300 sacks of safe sugar.
Detectives have since arrested seven suspects linked to the disappearance of the consignment while a manhunt for a security guard who was at the warehouse and who is reported to have gone into hiding after the incident was launched.
The batch was part of thousands of bags of sugar that were impounded last year by government authorities after they were found to be contaminated with mercury and other compounds that pose health risks to consumers.

What a country. Corruption is rampart. No one is immune from this contagious disease known as corruption. No one is accountable hence the corruption continue to infect everyone in the country. The government is not prepared to tackle the problem, and so it goes. Just talk, talk until another major fleecing case.

If the contaminated sugar was impounded a year ago, shouldn't the government have destroyed this batch a long time ago? What is the point of holding on to contaminated product?

Our leaders have opened all doors to every foreign Tom, Dick and Harry. Kenyan's are being poisoned from left to right.
Our people are being lied to by a "so called white edormite" in 2019 that he is Jesus and the government allows him to go to schools and further the lie. This person should have been deported on his first day in the country.
Our leaders greed will let all white rejects into our country. (Liers; Murderes; Castrators;Racists;homeless in their countries- with no background check _ these are no other than our
former colonizers with all their evil )Why can't the so called "white Jesus " do what he is doing in his country. Its because there are laws separating Church and State and no such person would be allowed in schools. In our country, our leaders are so drunk with bribes that they do not question these pretenders just because they say they are "white". It's time to go back to our languages, then they cannot come in to tell lies to our children.
How long do our leaders think they can find and support this lie. There is no " white person" only different shades of red. Time for our government go start protecting its citizens from these intruders and distractors who are up to no good. If our leaders are not sure how to act, they need to talk to our black brothers in the western countries who have lived as slaves and under white supremacy for 400 years. It's not so much who they are as what they are capable of !!!
In Uganda, a pretender (doctor) gave kids bleach- about 500 dead; In Kenya a pedephile with his wife helping our kids?
How many? Before our leaders say enough is enough!!
