A multi-agency team has destroyed contraband goods worth Ksh.3.3 million impounded for the last four years in a bid to deter an influx of the commodities in Garissa.

The commodities, which were destroyed at Garissa dumpsite following court orders, include 295 bags of brown sugar, fresh powdered milk, heat retention wonder bags, women shoes, various clothing items, beauty products and pain relief tablets.

Speaking during the exercise, Assistant County Commissioner John Marete said the products destroyed were a health hazard to residents, noting that they had not undergone quality checks at the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS).He consequently urged residents to be careful when buying goods and to ensure that they have the KEBS standard mark of quality which verifies their authenticity.

Marete likewise reassured legitimate businesses in the area that the government will not relent in efforts to ensure that contraband goods do not get into the Kenyan market.

He similarly issued a stern warning to businessmen in Garissa, who are still involved in smuggling in contraband goods, that stern action would be taken against them.

Who gains when counterfeit goods flood the market? I once bought a power extension box. Nikaweka TV and a sound system kwa hiyo box. Ikachoma zote and also started a fire on my sofa. Hasara kubwa because I didnt know not to buy those sub-standard things from the local electric shop.

Fast forward. Those guys from Nyamakima want to continue importing the same substandard products. They want to sell fake East African Cables. They want the end user to suffer while they gain. Kwani hii dunia ni yao pekee.

Idiots. Alafu wanasema ni wakikuyu kuonewa na Uhuru! Mfoot foot!

Wacha zichomwe sote.

Kenyans conveniently choose to forget that Quality of Goods is all about safety, delivering on a promise and meeting the very basics of customer expectations.
When these aspects are not met, there is disillusionment, confusion and upset in the Consuming Public wondering where to put their trust in.

Do bear in mind also that fakes is normally a preoccupation of criminal elements and that in places like Garissa, the proceeds thereof are used to carry out terrorists activities.

And this is not forgetting that when a fake good causes fire, flooding, gas explosion or inhalation etc, Folks are very quick to blame the Government for allowing such dangerous undertakings.

That demonstrates the need to fight corruption everywhere. Rogue traders collude with rogue officers to unjustly enrich themselves at the expense of raia by flooding the market with substandard goods.

Na ile impunity watu wako nayo is on another level. It's become a culture.
