[Edward Kiplimo,Standard]The looming destruction of a Sh6.6 billion sugar consignment should mercury presence be confirmed is at the heart of the split in a parliamentary committee, The Standard has learnt. A member of the joint committee claimed some of his colleagues were holding brief for sugar barons. Committee co-chairman Adan Haji (Mandera South) later told The Standard they would make a final report based on documents they had received from State agencies. But his co-chairman Kanini Kega (Kieni) said they would this morning meet the multi-agency team involved in the crackdown. This translates to about 96 per cent of the total,” said Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) in its report to the committee.
