Kenya – Government to destroy 1, 200 bags of poisonous maize at Isebania border – Aflatoxin

Posted on May 20, 2021 by KSW | Leave a comment

The Government is set to destroy over 1,200 bags of maize which is believed to have been imported from neighbouring Tanzania.

Authorities say the maize is contaminated with aflatoxin, a naturally occurring carcinogenic chemical.

According to Migori County Commissioner Boaz Cherutich, the maize is currently at Kehancha National Cereals and Produce Board depot under tight police security.

He said they will seek a court order to allow them to destroy the contaminated maize which was sampled at the Government laboratory.

“We will seek court orders to destroy the maize which was confirmed to be contaminated with high levels of aflatoxin,” Cherutich said.
