Poison rice importers to face the law

The cereal was found in warehouses in Mombasa and there are fears some of it is already in the market.

Action will be taken against the importers of the expired rice that was impounded in Mombasa, the Director of Criminal Investigations has said.

George Kinoti, who led a team of detectives to the godown where the grain is being stored in what he described as ‘incognito storming’, said he was shocked that the owners were planning to dispose of the rice in the market.
