The Cabinet Secretary for Trade and Industrial investment Hon. Moses Kuria has ordered the importation of bar soaps to cushion Kenyans from high cost of living.
CS Kuria called out cartels whom he says are frustrating Gov’t efforts to streamline the Oil industry markets.
He accuses the unknown individuals for hiking the price of bar soaps which is says is a critical to consumers.
“Their misguided efforts to frustrate government efforts to streamline the edible oils industry, the edible oils Mafia have now hiked the price of bar soaps, a critical by product in the value chain by about 45%.
Adding: “To mitigate this mischief I have authorised the importation of bar soaps in order to protect the consumers.”
