Trade Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano has called for the review of the Standards Act as her ministry revealed that only 10 per cent of standards developed are in use in the Kenyan market.

The CS, who officiated her first public function after taking over the ministry following a Cabinet reshuffle, said the Act needs to be aligned to the needs of the country.
