Kenya National Bureau of Standards (Kebs) is now blaming Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) over the disappearance of one million kilograms of condemned sugar earlier this year.

In what is snowballing into an inter-agency war, Kebs on Thursday moved to absolve itself from blame and implicated KRA after tabling evidence before a parliamentary committee, showing that the condemned sugar was under the supervision of the taxman- at the Vinepack Industries warehouse in Thika- before it disappeared.
