State agencies Saturday started the destruction of a consignment of 400 tonnes of sugar worth Sh28 million that was impounded by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) last year at the Port of Mombasa.

The sugar was seized for being illegally allowed into Kenya without duty or wrongly labelled and concealed to evade duty.
