West Kenya Sugar Company Limited would like to issue this statement to set the record straight following a series of inaccurate, misleading and defamatory statements published by mainstream media outlets and on social media about the Companys involvement in the importation of sugar.
West Kenya Sugar Company Limited is a leading sugar processing firm based in Kakamega County. We produce the popular Kabras Premium White Sugar and Kabras Brown Sugar. We have invested heavily in an ultra-modern, sugar processing plant located in Kakamega County and take great pride in growing our market share by producing exceptional sugar.
Over 60,000 small-scale sugar cane farmers are contracted by West Kenya Sugar Company Ltd to supply the factory with local sugar cane. The Company continuously invests in its contracted farmers and has invested over KSH 400 Million in the last 18 months in cane development. We pride ourselves in paying our farmers 7 days from delivery and have had no arrears to farmers since inception in 1981. The Factory employs 3,500 staff members and supports the local community through scholarship funds, medical outreach programmes, building of a maternity hospital, building primary schools, and various other Corporate Social Responsibility activities.
The extended drought experienced in Kenya in 2016-2017, which was declared a national disaster caused a rise in retail sugar prices. As a result, the Kenya Government through Kenya Gazette Notice Number 4356 (published on 12th May 2017) granted a four-month duty exemption for sugar imports up to 31st August 2017. In view of the exceptionally reduced supply of cane available from our preferred local farmers caused by that drought, West Kenya Sugar Company Limited along with several other companies, consequently applied for and were granted a licence to import bulk brown sugar by the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA).
The importation of sugar involves Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) certification from the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KeBS) who work with international quality assurance companies to certify that the sugar conforms to KeBS KS EAS749:2010 standard. The Kenya Revenue authority is also involved to ensure that all requisite taxes are paid.
The bulk brown sugar that we imported is placed in quality-controlled, white woven bags which have an inner water-resistant liner. The bags are marked NOT FOR SALE as that sugar requires further processing to our exacting standards before it is released to the consumer market. As we imported bulk brown sugar it was a condition by KeBS that the same should be further processed at the factory in Kakamega.
To ensure this condition was met, the same sugar was transported 900 KM by road from Mombasa to Kakamega for processing. The final product is then tested in our laboratories to ensure that it meets the KeBS table sugar quality standards and our own Kabras Sugar brand quality standards. West Kenya Sugar Company Limited operates an advanced quality testing laboratory to ensure the integrity of all our genuine products.
As a market leader, West Kenya Sugar Company Limited is often a target of counterfeiters and unscrupulous traders and packers who import and pass off contraband products in our name. We therefore enthusiastically commend the ongoing efforts by the various Government Agencies that are working to clamp down on these illegal traders and we support all genuine efforts to ensure that the culprits of such acts are brought to book.
We have voluntarily provided unfettered access to government inspectors to all our facilities including our Kakamega factory and storage sites in Nairobi, Nakuru and Webuye. Samples of sugar that we imported are currently undergoing testing and we have no doubt that the results will confirm the integrity of our products and serve to counter the inaccurate, unsupported and alarming reports that are being circulated in the media.
We further wish to confirm that West Kenya Sugar Company Limited was NOT the proprietor of the sugar reportedly seized by Government Authorities at Eastleigh in Nairobi on 5th June 2018. We shall provide any assistance requested of us by Authorities in relation to their on-going investigations.
Consequently, we wish to assure all our farmers, customers and stakeholders that the quality of our brand, Kabras Sugar, which is available at all leading outlets in the country, meets and indeed surpasses all the requisite quality standards. West Kenya Sugar Company Limited remains committed to operating within the highest possible ethical standards in the manufacture of quality table ready branded sugar.

One thing I have noted with Uhuru he has an ego which when bruised he takes on everybody including his buddies like Sonko or Kabogo.

Uhuru and his family are controlling government policy to enrich themselves, this is truly the worst type of corruption and obvious conflict of interest. Rotich budget increased import tax on plywood and timber products supposedly to protect local manufacturers. Guess which companies will benefit Timsales kenyatta company and Raiply. Capping of interest rates, Mshwari was exempted which is owned by CBA but other banks mobile products were capped. The big 4 agenda, housing the main beneficiary companies will be Kenya clay products, Cmax and koto or owned by kenyattas. We have the likes of kinyua and former AG calling Nys to pay uhuru uncle company.
I think he can be corrupt and still fight corruption. I laud what he is doing. Corruption should not be free for all. If he can make sure only a few guys can steal or take advantage of policy making - I'd be fine with it - the problem is corruption that affects everyone - I am talking say traffic police kind of corruption. Getting say passport now - you've got to part with something. That kind of corruption is the worst.
No he cannot. The big corruption will still take place as it is the hand that is feeding him and his cronies. The guys are used to easy cash and hence the fight now to cut Ruto to size and let Uhuru continue to run Kenya through another post as executive PM.
Pundit, you should be the first one to know that it is big cash making the Kiambu elite want to hang on longer. Fighting corruption is just a myth as they and not Ruto have benefitted the most from the economic and political corruption in Kenya.
Muhoho is a hard-working patriot. The only Kenyatta that is focused on working. Muhoho businesses should not be attacked for political reasons. The man has done a great job. He has taken dead capital and turned it productive capital. He is a great man that we should all emulate.
Let us leave private citizen muhoho out of political mudslinging

What is it with this bitterness? Uhuru is not the monster people think he is. He is a erractic and sometimes careless drunk. Other than that he is the very humble joyful person. Uhuru is good man playing in a field full of criminals and social misfits.
Ruto misunderstood what presidency meant to uhuru. It is one thing he has been aiming at all his life. He wanted to proof his worth to his critics. He wanted to right his father's wrongs. He wants to live Kenyatta family in more safer place than his dad left them.
Please do not think what his sisters and in-laws are doing is sanctioned by him. I really doubt uhuru has taken any money from gok.

As for his brother he would give no rats ass if uhuru lost the presidency. To him politics is nonsense a big waste of money
Omollo,
The small dick of yours is making you agressive like a small mutt..uhuru is doing what he is convinced his supporters want him to do. He is responding to their wishes..so go to nasa and ask it to offer opposition..they need to do their fucking job and let uhuru rule.
You lost and ran like a bitch

These NASA radicals are foolish..they are playing leftist politics of the 1970s in a dynamic and changing country like Kenya . They need to follow miguna and oo ..too idiots with good brains but empty bank accounts

Getting say passport now - you've got to part with something. That kind of corruption is the worst.Small corruption can easily be dealt with by using technology. Huduma bora has gone along way in reducing corruption imposed on simple access to government services like passport, business registration etc. Police we just need to start using smart ID and implement ticketing by traffic police. Policy manipulation affect broad sections of society. Take Timsales, it means going forward all timber byproducts will be expensive, which will affect all products that uses timber byproducts in the economy. All so that we can protect an inefficient producer and royal family to be assured market for their company products. Environmentally also it means we'll continue depleting our forests cause this local company can't import raw materials, it relies on access to public forests.
You are a stupid radical. Like raila your job is to incite poor masses then sit in hotel while watching the peasnts getting drilled by military and killed by militias..after elections you were not a man enough to face pundit and accept you be whopped vilivyo. Now that raila has prostituted himsd to uhuru you are back with your usual fake bravado
