The government in June waged a crackdown on illicit goods following an influx of contraband, counterfeit and substandard goods into the country.
In September, a raid by Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) and public health officials in Eldoret led to the discovery of expired cooking oil, rice, sugar and flour worth Ksh 20 million.
As part of the crackdown, Kebs Managing Director Charles Ongwae and six others have been arrested over the importation of substandard fertilizer and fake KEBS stamps.
