Why we can’t help but eat Ugali with a dose of poison

Every day of the week, PointBlank can bet that the meal on the dinner table, or floor for that matter, of 99.9 per cent of Nairobi families is Ugali. We can hazard a second guess—that in 95 per cent of these homes, ugali is eaten with sukuma wiki.

A new study by researchers from University of Nairobi and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, says that much of the sukuma (kales) on sale in Nairobi is highly contaminated and poses a serious health risk to consumers. The study found that   kales sold in some open markets and supermarkets contained faecal matter and multiple germs.
