I recently came across results of quality tests on samples of cement collected in a market surveillance operation conducted in March this year. The inescapable conclusion I arrived at is the following. The consumer of cement in Kenya is thoroughly exposed.

I say so because we also recently read newspaper articles on how a similar market survey conducted in February 2022 by the Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) came up with similar results.
