Living in Kenya should officially be added on the list of 1,000 ways to die. In Kenya, both the government and the private sector are trying so hard to kill us, but it is like we have refused to die.
The rich, greedy businessmen and women seem to be tired of the poor and are now out to milk the little coins they have and kill them in the process by feeding them poison.
On Sunday, 10th November 2019, Kenya National Bureau of Standards banned five maize flour products for having high aflatoxin levels.
Aflatoxin is a compound that causes cancer when ingested in human body and if taken in large amounts can cause death within a short time through acute food poisoning.
What is more scary is that some of the maize flour products that have been banned are household names; such as Dola and Kifaru with so many Kenyans feeding on them.
Stats show that more than 60 percent of Kenyan households feed on Ugali at least once a day, with 90 percent of them considering it as the “main meal.”
In Kenya, Ugali or unga is an emotive issue. Touching on Ugali and distributing it with “poison” in it is like aiming at killing the entire nation.
Here is a list of products that are likely to be carrying poison and killing you slowly:
- Maize flour
- Milk
- Meat
- Sugar
- Cooking oil
- Fish
- Rice
- Cabbage
- Eggs
- Wheat flour
Other products include vegetables that are planted in raw sewage, bananas that are forces to ripen using chemicals and rice made of plastic from China.
It is not only human who are at danger. Animals too. If has emerged that most animal feeds carry high levels of aflatoxin that is likely transmitted to human.
Kenyans will soon have nothing to eat at the rate at which everything is becoming poisonous.
