  • Prices of Local Sugar Go Up in Kenya

    As the Kenyan Government intensifies its clampdown on contraband products, traders have increased the prices of local sugar.

     A kilo of sugar  in western Kenya now sells for between Sh10 and Sh20.

    Consumers now avoid brands from factories that have links with  the controversial importation of sugar. A 50kg bag of Sony sugar now goes for Sh5,500, up from Sh4,300.

     The Government had two weeks ago, seized a consignment of contraband sugar  in a warehouse in Eastleigh, Nairobi.
