Officers drawn from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) arrested one of the key suspects in the contaminated sugar saga at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Saturday, May 20, night. Customs officers were alarmed because of a departure prohibition that had been issued against the suspect and other Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) officials. He was pulled aside and the DCI officers immediately alarmed. The DCI officers escorted him to Kamukunji Police Station where he was detained awaiting arraignment in court scheduled for Monday, May 22. The Mombasa-based businessman was accused of being a witness to the opening and breaching of the 40 containers with the contaminated sugar that was released into the market.
