Kenya could get into trouble with the Common Market for East and Central Africa (Comesa) for breaching an agreement that led to the extension of its sugar sector protectionist measures by two more years.
Nairobi’s decision to import sugar from outside Comesa is contrary to an agreement that the country increase its sugar quota of imports from Comesa to bridge its deficit.
