Kenya has with immediate effect banned the importation of maize from Tanzania and Uganda citing safety concerns.
A study revealed that maize from the two countries contained high levels of mycotoxins. Mycotoxins, particularly aflatoxins and fumonisins are known to be carcinogenic.
The ban on maize importation comes after a letter dated March 5 was written by the acting Director-General of the Agriculture and Food Authority Kello Harsama to Pamela Ahago, KRA Commissioner of Customs and copied to Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya.
