MERU, KENYA: Sugar and other goods will be tested in high seas to prevent contaminated ones getting into Kenya, Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) Board Chairman Mugambi Imanyara has said.

“We are floating the idea that the tests will be conducted before they are in the ports and if the fertilizer, sugar and others do not meet quality standards we will turn the ships away,” Mr Imanyara said.
